TOP TOTS 2011

Date published: 27 July 2011


Our popular Top Tots photographic sessions will be held at Matalan, Alexandra Retail Park, Oldham; Spindles Town Square shopping centre, and Tesco Extra, Huddersfield Road.

Speciallly-commissioned photographers have an extensive schedule of dates and locations and no appointments are needed. There is no charge for the photo sessions.

Once pictured, your under-five is then eligible to have their picture published in our Top Tots supplement (September 21) and be in with a chance of winning some great prizes.

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 photoshoot locations listed.

Our highly-experienced photographers 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 mobile studio location to view the images to 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.

The Top Tots supplement will appear on Wednesday, September 21.  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: 0-18months, 18-36 months and 3-5 years.

The three children with the most votes will then be judged by our panel of sponsors to decide on Oldham’s Top Tots for 2011.

The array of prizes on offer for the winner in each category are:- 
A Pontins 3 or 4 night family holiday, a framed print and family photoshoot courtesy of Capture Foto, a Pizza Hut family meal voucher and a family pass to Knowsley Safari Park, plus a voucher to place a family birthday announcement to the value of £250 in the Chronicle. Two runners-up in each category will receive a framed portrait, a family
meal voucher and family announcement voucher.


Make sure you are at one of the photo-sessions for some great pictures and the chance of some top prizes. Normal Chronicle competition terms and conditions apply.
