Baby Show Time has introduced a new dress code for all standard shows.
While pageantry is increasing in popularity, we’d like to take steps to disassociate our novelty baby shows with the pageants, to include as many families as possible.
While we won’t be banning styles, we would like to discourage our beautiful girls from wearing cupcake, glitz, pageant style dresses and high heels, and encourage formalwear, party dresses and creativity!
At this stage we love how our boys dress, whether that’s a suit, something handmade, or just your favourite outfit! For our boys we will just be discouraging over the top bling and accessories.
Going forward, the judging of high titles and best dressed categories will reflect these changes and high titles won’t be so heavily judged by clothing.
We will be looking for personality, X-factor, overall cuteness, and well coordinated, clean, complete outfits.
For State Finals, and Royalty Shows, you may bling to your heart’s content at these events only! Ballgowns, pageant wear and glitz will be accepted.
Fake tan and make up are NOT allowed, and heels are strongly discouraged. Nudity and revealing clothing is not allowed.
Head to our gallery to see how children dress!

This depends on the type of show you have entered.
Our Casual Cuteness shows require casual wear. We will be looking for nice, neat, clean clothing that your child might wear out to dinner, to a birthday party or to a photoshoot. High titles will not at all be judged on outfit for this show.
Our standard baby shows request pretty dresses or cute outfits for girls, and smart casual outfits for boys
Our Dressed to Impress shows and specialty shows request your best outfits. Ballgowns, pageant wear and bling will all be accepted.
Tan and make up must not be worn.
To see how children dress, please head over to the videos tab on our Facebook page here to see past shows.

Please ensure your photo is 6×8 (3×4) dimensions.
We are looking for bright, sharp images with clean backgrounds and nice light. Whether that’s outdoors using nature as the background or inside with a plain wall. We recommend at least 1 close up or half body shot, and 1 full body shot for best results. We love creativity and certainly don’t require professional photos though we do allow them.
Please view our past shows here for more information!

We are looking for clean, bright, sharp images, of any dimensions.

We ask that you register as it gives us an idea on how many children we will have entering the show.
This helps us have enough trophies, ribbons and seating. All of those who register have the chance to win prizes throughout the show.
If you will not be attending an event, please contact us here to cancel your registration.

There are approximately 23 novelty sections each child can enter for in person shows, and anywhere from 20-70 sections for online shows.

Yes – we will not accept any child who is wearing make-up, fake tan, revealing clothing, nudity or politically incorrect or controversial attire. We will also not accept photos containing any of the above.

Bullying, abuse, inappropriate language, slander, competitiveness, and negativity directed towards any other family or staff member will NOT be tolerated, online or in person.
