VoteMyBaby.com provides a fun way for you to view and rate others' Baby, Toddler and Preschoolers' photos. It is an absolutely free service, no hidden fee. Anyone can rate these photos on a scale of 1 to 10, (1 is NOT Cute, 10 is the Cutest). Viewers can select all or specific photo categories based on their interest. After rating a photo, the system will randomly present another photo for further rating.
The system allows up to 4 photos per membership in circulation for rating. You can upload more than 4 photos, but they just won't be all in circulation at the same time.
Of couse, cuteness, is in the eyes of beholder. So, relax, have fun, and enjoy the site!
You can upload a photo directly from your computer after logging into your membership account. Please do not send us photos via email asking us to post them for you.
Photos are divided into three categories:
- Babies: Children between the ages of 1 day to 12 months of age.
- Toddlers: Children between the ages of 12 to 24 months of age.
- Preschoolers: Children between the ages of 2 to 4 years of age.
Use your best judgement.
Make sure that the size of your photo is under 1 MB. The photo upload system supports following file types: 'bmp', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'png', 'tiff', 'tif', 'tga', 'jpe'.

EVERY photo submitted for rating is first approved by moderators. The moderators decide which photos are accepted into the system. The criteria listed are merely guidelines.
If you're convinced your photo should have made it through, you can try resubmitting it.
- Child must be in the photo.
- No sexually suggestive, advertisement, fake, lewd, overtly violent/grotesque photos.
- Creative posing of your child is encouraged, but please don't cross the fine line of good taste.
- Don't include any type of contact information (e.g. full name, email address, webpage URL, ICQ, AIM screenname, Messenger, etc.). Names of the place where your photo was taken are OK. First names are OK.
Votes are not tabulated instantly, they are counted every hour or so. Check your photo rating again later.
Some unscrupulous people may put your email on a SPAM email list. You wouldn't want that, would you? Neither would we.
The only way to go directly to a photo is by its direct link, which your friend can give to you. (they can find their direct link by logging in and looking in the "Your rating" section or by just looking underneath their photo).
Official VoteMyBaby.com scores are normalized and weighted to account for different individual voting behavior.
Many standard scoring systems use normalization techniques. We still give you the chart, which represents raw data, just for fun.
Click "back" to go back to the offending photo. Look a few lines under the photo, and click the link "Flag this photo as inappropriate." Thanks for being a good internet citzen.

Currently, only a small number of photos are in circulation, so you will see some photos more than once....or repeatedly. We expect the situation to resolve itself as more people post their photos. If you don't like what you see, check back to us in a month or two. We promise, the site will improve!
