Online voting for the Cutest Baby Contest will take place from 9 a.m. on Wednesday, January 30, 2025, through 5 p.m. on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.

Multiple voting is allowed; however, it is limited to one (1) vote per photo, up to (3) votes per one (1) hour period.

Although we do not prohibit contestants from utilizing influencers or other promotional strategies to promote the cutest baby contest, fraudulent votes are not allowed and will be deleted from the entered contestant. Our technology team has programmed very sophisticated algorithms to identify fraudulent votes. We take into consideration multiple factors like repetitive votes from IP addresses in very short periods of time. To keep the integrity of the contest all votes with a score of 10 or more will be deleted.

No, everyone does not need an individual link to vote. For security and regulation purposes, voting is based on the IP address. So, if an IP address has already cast a vote, you can’t vote again using the same IP address within that time frame limit (every 3 hours). This means that if family and friends are voting on the same WI-FI at home or at work, it will show that they have already voted. You can however take your phone off Wi-Fi and vote that way.

Please monitor your email for voting tips that we release periodically.

Yes, since babies are minors, the waiver form is required for participation in the contest.
