What`s on at Midsummer Place

Baby of the Year 2010

Photography taking place on:

20th Aug to 29th Aug and 2nd to 5th Sept

THEY’RE all as pretty as a picture – but which of MK’s camera cuties will take the Citizen’s coveted Baby Of The Year title for 2010? The annual competition is now in its eighth super year.

Families flock to Midsummer Place to join the queue – and when the camera click for the final time there will be nearly 800 grins in our gallery!

There’s been a fantastic response from mums and dads keen to seen their little darlings recognised – children are happy to pose for their pictures, too.

A big thank you goes out to event sponsors 360 Play and the team from Dawson Strange Photography for taking all the pictures.

But what happens next? Now it’s up to Citizen readers to help us narrow down this bumper crop of entries to a shortlist of just 24 – that’s eight each from the three age categories of birth to nine months, 10 months to 18 months and 19 months to 36 months.

The eight pictures in each category receiving the largest number of votes will go into the final, and our panel of expert judges will then pick the winner in each section.

Judges will include representatives from 360, Midsummer Place, Dawson Strange and the Citizen.

All 24 shortlisted entries will be featured in a future edition your favourite free paper.
