Entries for the UD Express Christmas Baby competition 2024 are now open! We are looking for a baby to grace the front page of the last edition of the year – which will be published on Wednesday, December 19.
The competition is for babies from Addo, Despatch, Kariega and Nqweba (Kirkwood) who are celebrating their first Christmas; therefore babies who are entered need to be born after December 25, 2023.
To enter, parents need to complete a form that is available via a link on the UD Express Facebook page.
Qualifying entries will be uploaded in our Christmas Baby 2024 album on the UD Express Facebook page.
Allow at least one to two working days for entries to be reviewed and uploaded online. The competition is not a voting competition – the number of likes/reactions will not affect the outcome of the finalists. A panel of judges will choose the winner of the competition. The closing date for entries is 16:00 on Monday, December 2. No late entries will be accepted.
