WHO will be the face of the North Cornwall Toddler and Baby Fair? Now's your chance to pick a winner!

Since we launched the competition in last week's 'Post', the entries have been flying in, but you still have time to influence the voting and help choose the winner.

As previously reported in the 'Post' series, we have teamed up with Nought 2 Four and The Music Train in Bude to help find the winning baby or toddler.

The child with the most votes will become the 'face of the fair' and be used throughout their entire advertising and marketing campaign.

Following the difficult judging process, where the 90 entries were whittled down to 11, we can now reveal the finalists who were all 'snapped' by photo­grapher Kim Gouldson of Morwenna Photo­graphy in Bude.

Hayley Ayres, Music Train teacher, says of Morwenna: "Kim has been very generous with the time she has dedicated to our competition and she has managed to capture something very special in each child."

Nought 2 Four owner, Jess Creasey, adds: "We are delighted with the interest this competition has generated with a huge increase in entry numbers on last year." She added: "We look forward with anticipation to see who the public crown as our 'Face of the Fair' 2013."

Now it's over to you to pick a winner. The voting system remains the same as last year so all you have to do is choose your favourite from the pictures on this page, cut out the voting slip and then post it back to us at the Cornish & Devon Post, Tindle House, Westgate Street, Laun­ceston, PL15 7AL or drop your entry into the Candy Shop, 30B Belle Vue, Bude.

You can also vote by subscribing to the paper online at http://www.bude-today.co.uk">www.bude-today.co.uk. You will need to print off the coupon, complete it and include your email address along with your name, address and telephone number on the reverse of the voting slip so that your subscription can be verified.

Please ensure the email address is the one used when subscribing online. If this information is left off the voting slip, your vote will not be counted. There can only be one coupon submitted per subscription and we will not accept photocopies.

The closing date for the competition is Monday, February 25 at 5pm and the winner will be announced in the 'Post' on March 7.

Whilst the comp­etition reaches a climax, other preparations for North Cornwall Toddler & Baby Fair are well under way. Courtenay Insurance Services are putting the finishing touches to the event insurance policy they are providing free of charge as a way of supporting the event once again.

Free goody bags are being prepared which will be given to each attending family along with a full colour brochure which will include offers.

Due to such a huge footfall last year, a bigger venue has been secured for the fair taking place on Sunday, April 28, at Budehaven Community School between 10am and 4pm.

PLATFORM

This year all proceeds from the fair will be donated to SPARC (Stratton Play Area Regen­eration committee) who need to raise £40,000 in order to provide fantastic new play equipment for the children in the local area.

Usual Cornish & Devon Post rules apply.
