Monthly, not once-off
A new competition starts on the first of every month. Entries and voting close on the last day of the month, winners are announced about a week later, and prize money is paid out within 14 days of the announcement.
We match the prize pool for charity
Star Tots matches the full cash amount paid to the top three each month and gives it to a cause chosen by the first-place parents. See where it goes.
