HURON — Voting for Huron Regional Medical Center’s 16th annual Cutest Baby contest is now open, according to Mati Felderman, director of marketing and communications for HRMC.

This year’s contest features a deep field of 48 adorable babies.

“The long-standing tradition of the HRMC Cutest Baby Contest is a great way to kick-off the spring season and highlight the wonderful care the HRMC Birthing Center provides to families right here in Huron,” said Felderman. “We’re excited for parents to start sharing photos of the sweet little ones to find a contest winner.”

During the month of March, parents were encouraged to enter the contest by submitting a photo of their baby online. To be eligible, entrants needed to be under the age of one year as of the contest start date and live in HRMC’s seven-county service area.

Voting is live online, with one vote per device, or IP address, accepted every 24 hours. Parents, friends and family are encouraged to share the contest with others to promote votes for their cute contestants throughout the month of April.

The entry with the most votes will win the grand prize package which includes a Hatch Baby Sleep Machine, $75 in Huron Bucks, a gift basket of baby essentials, a commemorative blanket, and a feature photo on HRMC Cutest Baby advertising and promotional materials for the following year. The entry with the second most votes will receive $50 in Huron Bucks.
