THE selfies are in – and now it’s decision time.

Here are the contenders vying to be crowned Mr or Miss Bolton News 2017 – the year of our 150th anniversary.

We are on the hunt for a man and a woman to represent their hometown in this special year.

Not only will the winners scoop a package of prizes each, they will also be invited to attend our ‘Bolton’s Got Talent’ charity event at the Macron Stadium.

It will be held in December, hosted by none other than comedy legend Peter Kay.

We were inundated with entries for our Mr and Miss Bolton News 2017 gallery and now you can vote below by swiping right on your favourite selfies.

Once the vote closes on Friday, September 1 at 5pm, the top 20 girls and boys' pictures will appear in The Bolton News before the overall winners are decided.

Good luck everyone!
