The PE Express is happy to announce that entries for our annual Christmas Baby competition are now open!
As with every year, 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 21. The competition is for Gqeberha babies who are celebrating their first Christmas; therefore babies who are entered need to be born after December 25, 2021.
To enter, parents need to complete a form that is available by clicking on this link.
Qualifying entries will be uploaded in our Christmas Baby 2022 album on the PE Express Facebook page.
Please allow at least one to two working days for entries to be reviewed and uploaded online.
If your photo does not appear in the album, it means it did not qualify.
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, November 28. No late entries will be accepted.
