GETTING the right shot is all important when your little one is bidding for the Child of the Year title.
That is the job of photographer Martin Wigley whose job it is to get the perfect picture of the scores of children who are entering this year's competition.
Families have been queuing up in their droves to enter their gorgeous youngsters in the Daily Echo's Child of the Year 2008 competition.
The Echo is expecting a record- breaking year of entrants all with high hopes of scooping the coveted title that was won last year by 18-month-old Ellis Harvey.
Eleven-month-old Bradley Adames from Thornhill is among those in the running for the title.
He was among dozens of children whose parents have entered the competition by cutting out the coupon on this page which entitles them to a free sitting at The Mall Marlands shopping centre where the photo shoots are taking place.
It is the 14th year that The Mall Marlands has backed the competition.
Photographers from BCR Photographic will be at The Mall Marlands until June 15, from 9.30am to 4.30pm, and 11.30am to 4.30pm on Sunday.
Prizes will be either Mall giftcards which can be used in the majority of the shops in the centre or retailer gift vouchers.
The Child of the Year 2008 will be voted for by Daily Echo readers, who can view all the entries in a series of special supplements, which are due to published on July 21, 22 and 23.
Don't miss your chance to enter as time is running out before the competition closes on Sunday.
The Mall Marlands offers more than 40 stores on two floors and has something for every shopper, from affordable fashions through to home wares, furnishings, toys and gifts.
