Do you think your child is the cutest of them all?

The Kent Messenger's Cute Kids competition is back for another year, so now's the time to prepare your young ones' most adorable outfits for the contest.

To enter, simply pop down with your child to be photographed at The Mall in Maidstone from Tuesday, July 31 until Saturday, August 11.

The photos will then appear in the paper and everyone votes to crown the cutest kid, with winners receiving £500 in cash plus a canvas portrait.

Second prize is £100 cash and a canvas portrait and third prize £50 and a canvas portrait.
