THESE youngsters are the lucky winners of the Argus Christmas Cuties competition.

The four Gwent children fought off stiff competition from more than 250 other entries to be voted winners of their categories.

The winners were: 0-9 months - Alicia Caldicott; 10-18 months - Darci Cooper; 19-36 months - Tayan-Leigh Clark; 3-5 years - Rico Scarpato.

Each child received £100 and a framed photgraph of themselves thanks to BCR Photography.

More than 7,000 votes were cast via text message and letters to nominate their favourite cutie.
