IT'S that time of year again, folks. The search is on to find Barnsley's Baby of the Year 2014.

If you think your little cherub can follow in the footsteps of Rebecca Wellbelove, then start sending in your cute snaps.

This year there is a £500 prize pot up for grabs - with the overall winner receiving £300 and two runners-up winning £100 each.

The winner will also receive a free Champagne Occasions notice up to and including their child's 18th birthday and a framed canvas print of their child from a photo taken by the Chronicle photographers.

The two runners-up will each receive framed canvas poster prints of their children and a free Champagne Occasions notice for their child's next birthday.

To take part simply send us a photograph of your child.

The competition is open to children up to the age of two from the date our picture supplement is published. So if your child was born on or after September 19, 2012 then they are eligible to take part.

There are three ways to enter. Cut out and fill in the official entry coupon and send together with your child's photo by post to Baby Competition 2014, Newspaper Sales Dept, Barnsley Chronicle, 47 Church Street, Barnsley, S70 2AS (photographs may not be returned).

You can also bring your photo to the Chronicle office on weekdays between 9am-4pm and fill out a coupon from the reception team.

Alternatively, you can upload your photo at www.barnsley-chronicle.co.uk.
