It's set to be Britain's most exciting competition for 4 to 7 year olds, offering an unbeatable opportunity for aspiring pint-sized models.

After the launch, parents and guardians can upload photographs of entrants, and family and friends can vote for them. Voting closes at noon on 25 November, when the top 100 entrants will be named. Each finalist, along with three guests, will then be invited to attend the grand final at Woburn Abbey on 21 December.

FUNDRAISING FUNTIME 

Alongside the Children’s Competition Next will also be running an event for the Make a Wish foundation. Children aged 0-16 are invited to draw a picture showing “their wish” and upload a photo of the picture to the Make a Wish event at www.facebook.com/nextonline. A panel of judges at Next will choose the top 50 designs and the entrants responsible for the top designs will be asked to submit their original drawings and join in all the fun of the competition final at Woburn Abbey on 21st December, when an overall winner will be selected. The winning design will be manufactured by Next, with sales benefiting the Make-a-wish Foundation.
