MORE than 140 Wirral babies are officially battling it out as they vie to win Globe readers' hearts (and votes) with their cheeky grins and chubby cheeks in our Bonny Baby 2014 competition.

In this week’s paper you will find pictures of all the entrants - and it's time to cast your vote for the one you think deserves to win.

The event, which is in association with Birkenhead Market, saw 145 babies put forward for this year's title.

In first place last year was Jack Connolly, who was among 195 babies nominated for the top prize. In second place was Rose Marion Hill, 14 months, from Moreton. In third place was Jake Clements, 11 months old, from Wallasey.

  • FIRST: S7 modelling contract, photo shoot worth £250 and one year family ticket for Light Cinema.
  • SECOND: Family tickets for Peppa Pig at Floral Pavilion and £50 House of Fraser Voucher.
  • THIRD: A month's family pass for Total Fitness and £50 gift voucher for Hair & Beauty Lounge.
