Time to focus on snapping the best baby pics

Calling all cute babies and adorable infants – The Camera Shop in Warkworth is getting ready to enlarge your close-ups, as part of the annual Wellsford Plunket baby photo competition.

Favourite snaps can be submitted throughout September in five age categories – newborn to 1 year; 1 to 2 years; 2 to 3 years; 3 to 4 years; and 4 to 5 years – and the winners will be decided by public vote, after all the photos go on display at New World, Warkworth during October.

Each entry costs $5 and every entrant will receive a free 6 x 8 enlargement of their photo and go into a draw for a hamper of baby goodies, with all funds raised going to Plunket.

There are three prizes in each age category, all of which have been donated by local businesses. Baby photos can be submitted to The Camera Shop from September 1 on a camera, phone or USB stick; emailed to photos@thecamerashop.co.nz; or posted online at thecamerashop.co.nz. All entries must include the name and age of the child and a contact phone number, and be submitted by September 30.
