Is your little one the cutest of them all?

The Kent Messenger's Cute Kids Competition is back for another year, so it's time to prepare your child's most adorable ensemble.

To enter, simply pop down with your little one to be photographed at The Mall in Maidstone from Monday, August 2, until Sunday, August 8.

There is no need to book, just turn up.

A KM photographer will be set up opposite Muffin Break, from 10am- 4pm daily, and 10am-3pm on Sunday.

The photos will then appear in the paper and everyone votes to crown the cutest kid.

The winner receives a £100 Mall giftcard plus a 20x16 canvas portrait, while the runner up gets a £50 Mall giftcard and a 16x12 canvas.

Third prize is a £25 giftcard and a 12x10 canvas.

The competition didn't run last year but is back for 2021.
