Sunbeams 2010 - let rattle commence

THESE little ones are in the running for a very big prize.

Last week we launched our annual Sunbeams competition, in association with Mothercare, and we have already had more than 2,000 entries.

From Aberdeen to Aberdare, you have sent in photos of your gorgeous nippers in a bid to win our cute baby competition.

Last year's winner was Jack Thomason, now 19 months, of Carnforth, Lancs. The baby crowned top Sunbeam for 2010 will win a day modelling for Mothercare, a weekend break in London for a family of four and £1,000 to spend at Mothercare.

Nine runners-up will each get £100 to spend at the store.

Our top 40 Sunbeams will be chosen by a panel of judges including a representative from Mothercare, The Sun's Royal photographer Arthur Edwards and the LiveIt team.

Sun readers will then vote by phone or online to pick the top ten from those 40, before later choosing the eventual winner.

So if you know a butter- wouldn't-melt boy or girl under the age of two, enter our great competition now.

Either fill in the form found in today's newspaper and post it with a colour photo of your child to: SUNBEAMS, PO Box 3075, Coulsdon CR5 2DH, or go to upload your entry online here.

If you are entering by post, please put the Sunbeam's name and your postcode on the back of the photograph and, if necessary, get permission from the child's parents before entering.

The closing date for entries is Friday, September 10. For full terms and conditions, visit thesun.co.uk/sunbeamsterms.
