Talking about why he’s chosen to hold the photo contest, Vince said “After the stress of the last couple of years, I wanted to do something to cheer everyone up, support local families who may be struggling and also support a fantastic local children’s charity. I hope that my photo contest will encourage lots of community support and after all, seeing a child’s smile is one of life’s greatest joys!”

All entries will be photographed by Vince upstairs in the Baby Department at the Marks & Spencer store, King Street, St Helier with photo sessions taking place from Monday 5th to Saturday 17th September, between 9.30am – 5.30pm. As places are limited, Vince recommends booking early to secure a spot by visiting www.vincethorne.com/COTY.
The first-place winner will receive the prestigious title of ‘Child of the Year 2022’ along with a large prize bundle including a two-hour photoshoot at Vince’s New Street studio, a 16″x12″ canvas print and £100 of M&S kids vouchers. Two runner-ups will each receive a £50 M&S kids voucher.

Wendy Nerac, Fundraising Officer from the charity Brightly said “Brightly is absolutely delighted to be the chosen charity for this year’s Child of the Year contest. It is a fantastic opportunity for us to reach new audiences and to be able to raise awareness of our work. We’d like to thank M&S, Bailiwick Express and Shiny Koala for helping to make this event a success and very much look forward to working with Vince Thorne Bespoke Photography.”
