Do you think your child is the cutest?

The Kent Messenger's Cute Kids competition is back for another year, with three great prizes on offer.

Sponsored by The Mall Maidstone, The Entertainer, and The Photography Company, the prize pot is worth a collective £1,000.

To enter, take your child to be photographed by our Cute Kids photographer at The Mall between Monday, August 7 and Saturday, August 19.

The photographer will be there between 10am and 4pm Monday to Saturday, and between 11am and 4pm on Sundays.

The pictures will then run in our supplement in the Thursday, September 21 edition, with the details of how readers can vote for their favourite.

First prize is a £500 Mall gift card, a £50 bundle from The Entertainer, and a canvas portrait of your child courtesy of The Photography Company.

Second prize is a £250 Mall gift card, a £25 bundle from The Entertainer, and a canvas portrait.

Third prize is a £100 Mall gift card, a £25 bundle from The Entertainer, and a canvas portrait.

The competition is free to enter and no booking is required, but queues may form at busier times.
