BECAUSE of her chubby cheeks and a cute smile, it is easy to see how six-month-old Chloe Whitford won the Collie Mail’s Cutest Baby Photo Competition this week.
Although she was up against some stiff competition, Chloe blitzed the field, winning by 14 points and scoring a total 49 out of 90.
In second place was Caleb Jones with 35 points.
Bella Earl was third with 31 points and Liam van Beuningen was fourth with 24 points.
Jayde Stocks won the Readers’ Choice Award with 12 votes.
Chloe’s mother Kate said she had taken the photo of Chloe in the bath only the day before she entered it into the competition.
Although her father Luke described Chloe as a “big one”, Kate said Chloe was always a very happy and content baby.
The Whitfords won a digital camera valued at $299 from Collie Retravision and a one-hour baby photo shoot with Elysia Tilbrook Photography.
Caleb won a cot sheet set and nappy stacker from Collie Floral Studio and a silver photo frame from Collie Camera Centre.
Bella won a Lamaze two-in-one gym from Crank n Cycles and a plush teddy bear from Collie Florist.
Liam won a My Little Angel bracelet from Showcase Jewellers.
Jayde will have an account opened in her name at Bendigo Bank with a $100 start-up.
Richard Earl won a $30 Jimendy’s voucher after voting in the Readers’ Choice section of the competition.
