THIS twinkling trio of tots have been chosen from more than 200 other hopefuls as winners in a photographic competition.

Each of the winners will receive a £10 Early Learning Centre voucher, a free framed portrait of themselves and a modelling contract with Models Direct.

Portrait Place's Kelly Rowlands, who works at the franchise in the Debenhams Department store in Swindon said: "We had a really nice lot of entries so to pick out the winners was a very difficult task. Basically everyone working in the studio had their say.

"In the end we looked for children with that certain special sparkle, and I think these three have it."

The winning youngsters are one-year-old Jack Parsons-Clarke, of Woodhall Park, Regan Newman, of Park North, who is three years and seven-month-old, and Shannon Winsbury, of Swindon, who is five years five months.

The annual competition is held between January and April.
