$1000 Baby Idol 2026: Vote for Your Favorite SouthCoast Baby

We've collected over 100 submissions, and now it is time to start voting in our $1000 Baby Idol 2026 photo contest. Your votes will help us narrow it down to a Top 10, before we launch another round of voting next week to determine our Baby Idol.

The winner will receive a $500 Visa gift card and $500 in store credit to Cardi's Furniture and Mattresses.

Keep scrolling to see all of the submitted photos, and then vote for your favorite at the poll at the end of the photo gallery.

Please note: if your child's photo did not make it into the contest, it was because it did not follow our stated rules. The child must have been born after February 15, 2024, and no professional photos were allowed. Also, if multiple photos of the same child were submitted, we used the first one that was submitted based on timestamp.

Thanks to the 2026 Baby Idol sponsors for making this happen: Kool Kone, Prima CARE and Cardi's Furniture and Mattresses.
