READ NOWJudged with the help of celebrity stylist and mother-of-two Jules Sebastian, four Australian and two New Zealand winners between the ages of three and 10 were chosen from the top 100 entries shortlisted by the public.
“We all know kids say and do the cutest things and the Face of Kinder competition has allowed us to appreciate these precious moments,” Sebastian said.
Eliana was chosen for her gesture to cheer up a classmate.
“One day at Eliana’s child care, she noticed a new child who was very upset and teary,” mum Pranita KC said.
“To befriend her, Eliana gave up her much loved teddy and stayed by her side and played with her the whole day, putting smile on the new child’s face.
“When the educator told me the story, I couldn’t contain myself; her beauty is a true reflection of her.”
The next competition will launch in May next year.
