Voters have finally winnowed the list to five grand-prize finalists for the www.HawaiiMoms.com Cutest Baby Contest.

Readers are able to vote now for their favorites.

These five finalists captured the most online votes in our five weekly contests, and are squaring off for bragging rights as Hawai'i's Cutest Baby. The grand-prize winner also receives a $500 Kahala Kids gift certificate and the opportunity to appear in an ad campaign for Kahala Kids.

Voting for the grand-prize round ends Wednesday night.

Readers are asked to select only one photo during this voting period.

The background: Fifty finalists were selected by judges from The Honolulu Advertiser based on these criteria: clarity of photo, composition of photo, unique portrayal of the theme, emotional impact of the image and, of course, the baby's "cuteness."

Each of our weekly winners won a $100 Kahala Kids gift certificate.

The www.HawaiiMoms.com staff offers a big mahalo to everyone who entered the www.HawaiiMoms.com Cutest Baby Contest.
