It is one of the most popular competitions of the year, and now it is time to choose who you think should be crowned the Journal's bonniest baby of 2019.

Our Bonny Babies competition, held in partnership with Picture Studios, on London Road North, Lowestoft, has seen 63 youngsters posing for photo shoots before the cameras.

Now it's up to you, our readers, to choose the winners, with all the entries printed in this week's paper.

Each photograph has been individually numbered, and you can vote for your favourite by filling out the relevant coupon in this week's Lowestoft Journal.

This year, entries have been split into three categories; up to one years old, one to two, and over twos.

As always, Picture Studios have kindly supplied some amazing prizes for our winners, with the top tots in each category receiving a fabulous 20in x 16in framed portrait worth £228.

Runners-up will receive a 10in x 8in framed portrait worth £57 and third places will receive an 8in x 6in framed portrait worth £39.

Reece Hanson, coastal chief reporter for the Lowestoft Journal, said: "We are delighted with how many families were eager to take part in our competition this year, so thanks to everyone for getting involved.

"Our readers have now got the difficult task of helping us crown the winners, so fill out the forms and let us know who you think deserves to be crowned the bonniest baby of Lowestoft.
