Entries are sought for the 2016 Beautiful Baby Contest.babycontest2010@gmail.com or 203-270-8017.

Share a photo of a child, newborn-4 years old, for a chance to win Newtown's annual Beautiful Baby Contest. Children do not need to live in Newtown to be entered.

The entry fee is a $10 donation to Homes For Our Troops, and the winner will ride in the Newtown Labor Day Parade in a convertible provided by Mercedes of Danbury.

This year's friendly competition is raising funds for a young soldier who returned home with life-altering injuries. Proceeds will help cover the cost of building a handicap house through the nonprofit Homes For Our Troops.

To enter, send a $10 check made payable to Homes For Our Troops and a nonreturnable 4- by 4-inch photo (cut a 4- by 6-inch down to size) or wallet-size photo with the child's name and a contact phone number and e-mail written clearly on the back to: Baby Contest, c/o Lois Barber, 33 Zoar Road, Sandy Hook CT 06482.
