Last Friday, 17th April, at Duke Lodge, Kingston, Georgetown, representatives from GEM and Ansa McAl Guyana were on hand to present PAMPERS gift baskets to the ten finalists of the 2015 Cutest Baby Photo Contest.
The contest which was a collaborative effort between GEM and PAMPERS – distributed by Ansa McAL Guyana was held over a four week period. Within that time, contestants were required to submit pictures of their bundles of joy along with other required basic information.
Ten finalists were eventually selected by a closed panel of judges for the Facebook phase of the event. With a combination of judges’ points and the highest LIKEs, the cutest baby for the GEM cover was selected.
The winner for the coveted cover spot was little Zoe D’Ornellas, while the other nine finalists were Haley De Nobrega, Meghnad Krishnan, Liam DeVeaux, Krishmar Ting-A-Kee, Sabrina Ross, Nathan Gardner, Emily Cornelius, Isabella Khoslall and Katalia Garraway.
In their brief remarks before the presentations, both the Publisher of GEM Mr Simeon L. Corbin and Ansa McAL’s Public Relations Officer Ms. Darshanie Yussuf thanked the parents for participating, Duke Lodge for the venue, the media for helping to promote the contest and last but not least the thousands of Facebook fans and followers for helping to make the contest an exciting experience.
In the 67th edition of the magazine which will be on newsstands shortly, there will be more pictures and other information about the contest and finalists, so be sure to get your copy.
