TOP TOTS 2013

It’s fun – and it’s free to join in
ONE of the Chronicle’s most popular FREE competitions is back in town – Top Tots.
Join us at 2 different locations for this opportunity to get your tot photographed.

Once pictured, your under-five is then eligible to have their picture published in our Top Tots supplement in October and be in with a chance of winning some great prizes.

Our professional portrait photographer, Joanne Jacobs, will set-up at Royton News and Card Centre, Unit 3, Royton Shopping Precinct and Tesco Extra, Huddersfield Road, Oldham. There are no appointments needed for your portrait sitting. Just call in on one of the dates listed.

Prizes on offer include a Pontins Holiday, professional lifestyle photo shoot with a makeover for Mum plus a framed 12” x 18” print, Smyths Toy vouchers, a Chronicle family announcement voucher, Fresca vouchers and a Casting Memories charm.

TO take part in Top Tots – and see your child’s stunning portrait printed in the Chronicle supplement you need to take your youngster to one of the photo shoot locations listed.

Our highly experienced photographer will help pose and relax your child to create an image to remember.

There is no charge for the photographic portrait sittings.

Following the picture session you’ll be given a time and date to return to the same location to view the images and decide which one you would like to appear in the Chronicle’s Top Tots competition supplement.

When you return for viewing you do not have to buy any of the images to enter the competition, but we are sure that you will be delighted with the portraits and you will be able to buy copies of the pictures if you wish.

As well as appearing in the supplement there is a chance to win some great prizes.
Each picture will be printed in the Top Tots supplement allowing readers to vote for their chosen child in each of three categories:

0-12months, 12-36 months and 3-5 years.

The three children with the most votes in each category will then be judged by our panel of sponsors to decide on Oldham’s Top Tots for 2013
