THE annual search to find Bradford's bonniest baby or toddler gets underway this week.

The first photoshoots for the Telegraph & Argus Happy Tots competition, now in its 14th year, run from tomorrow to Saturday, between 10am and 4pm each day at the Kirkgate Shopping Centre in Bradford.

More photoshoots take place between February 3 and 7, again between 10am and 4pm.

There are five categories: up to six months; seven months to 12 months; 13 months to 24 months; 25 months to 36 months; and 37 months to five years.

Each category winner gets a 14x10 canvas print of the child's photograph and a play pass to the Jungle at the Junction soft play gym in Queensbury.

The one overall winner will get a 20x16 canvas print of the child's photo, a play pass, character balloon provided by Party Props, Queensbury, and a £500 voucher to spend at the Kirkgate Shopping Centre, which has again teamed up with the T&A for this year’s contest.

All winners will also receive a trophy and all children who enter the competition will get a T&A goody bag and a complimentary balloon, provided by Party Props, Queensbury.

Parents have to return to the Kirkgate Centre at a time and date stated on an appointment card to choose a photograph for the T&A Happy Tots supplement.

All entries will be published in a T&A supplement, with readers asked to vote for their choice of winner from each age-group category.

The three highest votes from each category will then go forward to the final for the chance to be named overall winner.
