To vote for Baby of the Year in the 2025 contest (a fundraising competition benefiting the nonprofit Baby2Baby, where the winner gets $25,000 and a feature in Variety magazine), you’ll need to support a specific entered baby, as there’s no central public list of all competitors.
Voting is currently open as of November 4, 2025, with a cutoff deadline of November 20, 2025. The contest runs in multiple rounds with competitors divided into groups, advancing based on votes. Here’s the step-by-step process:
Baby of the Year 2025: How to Vote
I’ll break it down into easy steps so anyone can follow along. You vote by supporting a specific baby, and there are free and paid options. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Find a Baby to Vote For
- The contest doesn’t have one big list of all the babies. Instead, parents or guardians share their baby’s special voting link on social media, emails, or online groups.
- Look for these links by searching on places like Facebook, Instagram, or other social sites. Try typing “Baby of the Year 2025 vote” into the search bar.
- The links usually look something like “babyoftheyear.org/2025/[baby’s name or ID]”. Once you find one for a baby you like, click it to go to their page. Like this is a real link of a baby https://babyoftheyear.org/2025/deklynn-7f6e
Step 2: Go to the Baby’s Profile Page
- Click the unique link you found. This takes you straight to the baby’s own page on the official website (babyoftheyear.org).
- Here, you’ll see the baby’s photo, story, and voting options. Make sure you’re on the real site to avoid any tricks.
Step 3: Cast Your Vote
You have two main ways to vote—one is free, and the other helps raise money for a good cause.
Option A: Free Daily Vote
- Sign in using your Facebook account. This is just to make sure you’re a real person and not a robot—it’s quick and safe.
- You get one free vote every 24 hours for that baby. Come back the next day to vote again!
- This is available every day while voting is still open.
Option B: Extra Votes Through Donations
- If you want to give more votes, you can make a donation. It’s tax-deductible and goes to help babies and families.
- Each donation turns into extra votes right away. There’s no limit on how many you can add this way.
- You’ll get an email receipt, and remember, donations can’t be refunded.
- Sometimes, there are special deals like getting two votes for the price of one—keep an eye out!

Fix Any Problems If They Come Up
- If voting doesn’t work, try using a different phone, computer, or web browser.
- Wait a full 24 hours if it’s been less time since your last free vote.
- If you’re still stuck, look for the “help” or “support” button on the site and reach out.
Rules to Remember
- You need to be at least 18 years old to vote, and it has to be allowed where you live.
- No using bots, scripts, or fake tricks—that could get you banned or disqualify the baby.
- Parents or guardians can’t vote for their own child, even with donations.
- Your info stays private and won’t be shared or sold.
- Watch out for scams! Only use official links, and don’t give out personal details to strangers promising votes.
That’s it! Voting is a great way to have fun and support a worthy cause. For the latest news or if you want to enter a baby yourself, head to babyoftheyear.org. Happy voting!
