January 2026 Winners β€” New Year, New Smiles! βœ¨πŸ†

2026 kicked off with a bang! Our "New Year, New Smiles" contest saw a massive surge in participation β€” 480 entries and over 14,000 votes cast. That's nearly triple the entries from December!

Two divisions competed this month: Newborn (0-6 months) and a combined Infant + Toddler (7-24 months) category. All winners receive real cash prizes paid within 14 days of contest close.


πŸ‘Ά Newborn Division (0-6 Months)

A familiar face leads the pack β€” but the competition behind her was fierce!

πŸ₯‡ 1st Place: Icelynn β€” $200

Age: 2 months
From: Missouri
Votes: 1,249

Three months, three wins. Icelynn from Missouri is officially the baby to beat β€” she topped 1,200 votes and took 1st place for the third consecutive month. Her family's engagement game is truly unmatched!

πŸ₯ˆ 2nd Place: Ju'marion β€” $50

Age: 5 months
From: Texas
Votes: 1,233

Just 16 votes separated Ju'marion from 1st place β€” one of the closest finishes in our history! This Texas cutie at 5 months old came in hot and almost pulled off the upset. Incredible debut!

πŸ₯‰ 3rd Place: SemanjΓ© β€” $25

Age: 3 months
From: Virginia
Votes: 901

SemanjΓ© is back on the podium for the second straight month! Virginia's 3-month-old charmer keeps building a loyal voting fanbase. Consistency is king!


🍼🧸 Infant + Toddler Division (7-24 Months)

The combined division brought a brand new set of faces to the top three!

πŸ₯‡ 1st Place: Nahmir β€” $200

Age: 16 months
From: South Carolina
Votes: 487

Nahmir from South Carolina made his first appearance and went straight to the top! At 16 months, he's got the personality and the photo presence to dominate. One to watch in the months ahead!

πŸ₯ˆ 2nd Place: Kenslie β€” $50

Age: 16 months
From: Toledo, Ohio
Votes: 480

Seven votes. That's all that separated 1st from 2nd. Toledo's Kenslie ran a masterclass campaign that came agonizingly close to the top. What a debut!

πŸ₯‰ 3rd Place: Aspen β€” $25

Age: 10 months
From: Gulfport, Mississippi
Votes: 476

The legend continues! Aspen from Gulfport has now placed in the top 3 for three consecutive months β€” November (1st), December (1st), and now January (3rd). At 10 months, this baby is already building a legacy!
