Bonds have announced the winners of their baby competition search for 2019.

In its sixteenth year, the contest returned without public voting and welcomed an all-new pet category. 

The brand revealed Elijah Bernal, nine months, from Joondalup, Western Australia, to be Store Wonderbub, and Jade Faisal-Tafili, two, from Brisbane, to be Online Wonderbub. 

Border collie Spud, from New South Wales, earned himself a year's supply of pet food after taking out first place pet.

In 2019, Bonds offered a surprise twist by ending public voting in order to get a more inclusive result. 

'To make the competition as fair and fun as possible, we decided to drop the voting component which means we also removed the People's Choice and age categories. That means, any bub or fur baby can win any day at random!,' the Bonds website reads.

Elijah's mother Stephanie Bernal burst into tears when finding out her son had been crowned Wonderbub.

Meanwhile Jade's proud mother Janine Faisal, submitted their daughter's photo while on holiday, and said it captured her cheeky and fun personality. 

Janine also couldn't wait to tell her day-care friends the news that Jade had won Bonds' baby search competition.
