THE search for Worcestershire’s most beautiful baby continues as readers have voted in their thousands to pick their favourite.

This year we had 178 babies enter our annual Baby of the Year competition and readers have been voting by phone and text to whittle down each age category into the top 10 entries.

Parents and their children visited our official photographer at the Crowngate Shopping Centre in February to have their photograph taken.

All of the entries produced a 16-page supplement which appeared in the Worcester News on Tuesday, March 27.

The 4,400 votes so far have given us the top 10 in each category.

A panel of judges, including Worcester News editor Michael Purton, will then have the difficult task of picking the overall winner and category winners.

All winners will be notified in writing.
