Colossal's 2nd Annual Baby of the Year Competition is Official and Voting Is OPEN

PHOENIX, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Colossal, America's leading professional fundraiser that has raised millions to support charities nationwide, is thrilled to announce that Baby of the Year 2025 is officially live! Presented by actress, entrepreneur, and longtime Baby2Baby Board Member Jessica Alba, this nationwide online competition rallies communities to champion their favorite baby in support of Baby2Baby and their mission to provide basic essentials to over one million children in need across the country every year. Paris Hilton and Kelly Rowland are also joining Alba in supporting Baby of the Year and helping spread the word about Baby2Baby's incredible mission.

Baby of the Year is open to little ones ages 0–24 months, giving families the chance to showcase their tiny stars. This fundraising campaign is a tournament-style competition, where supporters can cast one free vote every 24 hours; additional votes by donation are available that support Baby2Baby. Last year's debut of Baby of the Year proved a major success, resulting in a $24 million grant to Baby2Baby through Colossal's charity grantmaking partner, DTCare. In the last 14 years, Baby2Baby has distributed more than half a billion items to children in need.

Not only will the winning baby get the tiny crown, but there is $25,000 up for grabs, along with a coveted feature in a Variety magazine advertorial. Last year's Baby of the Year winner, Sloane Maya, captured hearts across the nation and her victory became a whirlwind of opportunities, including a professional photo shoot, an appearance on Good Morning America, features in multiple magazine ads, and a $25,000 prize.

• A supportive community that gets it
