OUR mission to find Britain’s bonniest baby is reaching its climax, with more than 15,000 entrants whittled down to just a dozen.
Now we need your help deciding on the six babies who will face-off in next week’s grand finale – and you have the chance of winning £500 after voting.
Our team of judges created an initial shortlist of 48 babies from the whopping file of 15,383 entries.
Now, after a series of heats over the past month, thousands of Sun users have helped narrow the field further, to the 12 beauties below.
But which will make the final stage? You decide!
Make a vote in either (or both) of the semi-final polls below and you’ll be shown the prize question. Answer correctly and fill in your details to enter our prize draw – there's £500 cash up for grabs.
You can enter the draw once each heat/round, so twice on this page. UK residents, 18+ only. See here for full T&Cs.
Okay, ready to choose? The final line-up is in your hands…
