At a time when most of us are spending more time with our pets than ever, this competition aims to encourage professionals as well as total amateur photographers to pick up a camera or phone and capture those funny moments with our most loved pets.

Not only will the competition aim to showcase the incredible impact pets can have on our lives, which has been brought to the forefront during this challenging time, but it will also look to raise awareness around homeless pets in the UK, a message that is at the heart of competition sponsor Mars Petcare’s mission of ending pet homelessness.

An esteemed panel of judges, including Kate Humble, TV vet Emma Milne, and an animal welfare expert from Blue Cross, will then select the top 40 entries when the competition closes on August 31st, with the finalists being announced on September 28th. The team at Comedy Pet want to see all your pets: dogs, cats, horses, and even guinea pigs. The winner will be announced on November 19th.

The partnership will be raising much-needed funds for sick, injured, abandoned, and homeless pets across the country by donating 10% of the sponsorship fee and 10% of the £5 entry fee to Blue Cross to assist with its work on rehoming pets and providing veterinary treatment and care.
