Image categories
Dog: Our Best Friends
Just the dogs we hear you say? Well, in a nutshell, or a bone, yes. This category is your dog category, or as wikipedia says ‘a domesticated carnivorous mammal that typically has a long snout, an acute sense of smell and a barking, howling or whining voice’. Thank you Wikipedia, and hopefully that clears up this category for you owners out there. We know you love your dogs, as us lot do, so find that hilarious image and get it in.
Cat: Our Fabulous Feline Friends
It was once said “In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods, they have not forgotten this.” Which is true, they do rule the roost. They certainly do in our houses anyway. We love our cats and love it when they deign to love us too, and thankfully they do provide us with lots of entertainment. So drop your lovely cat picture here.
The Mighty Horse
We totally and utterly love horses, but know absolutely nothing about them. Paul was popped onto a horse as a youngster and promptly fell off, Tom just looks at them and they run off terrified, but we think Michelle might have an equine gift going on, but we are waiting on that one. Horses are so full of character and expression, so we know you love (and are probably way more effective with horses than we are) your horses, so pop the happy funny prancing, dancing, laughing, snorting horse images here.
All Other Creatures Great and Small
There are many creatures out there which we have as pets. Tom really wanted a pot-bellied pig as a pet when he was as boy, but his parents said that one chubby, stinky, slimy, farty pig in the house at a time was enough, sorry Tom. We know you all have a whole plethora of creatures which aren't in the previously mentioned categories, so you drop the images in here.
Pets who look like someone famous or their owners
Now this is for the bold, the brave, the fearless, and the ones with a certain sense of humour....because we know that out there, in the great wide pet world, there are a number of you that see some kind of resemblance between your most trusted furry (or scaly / feathered etc etc) friend and someone famous or even you - the owner. Please add in the description the name of the famous person, so we can all marvel at the unbelievable likeness. This could be the category of all categories…. here at the HQ of the Comedy Pet Photo Awards we are all holding our breath in anticipation.
Junior (max 10 entries per entrant)
The incredibly EXCITING news is that this category is FREE to enter this year! Yippee!! BUT and this is very, very important you have to be a young person to enter this one (that is you must be 16 or under 16 by July 1 2022, T & C's apply - go read them). We will be requesting proof of age like a passport or ID card, if your image gets through to the Final shortlist and there will be no exceptions. The maximum number of images entered by one entrant is 10 images, any more than that and they will be discarded. So, kids - get your phones and cameras out, fill your pocket with treats - (for you and the pet) and go get snapping.
