The founders of the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards have created a new photography competition which is easier for those of us in lockdown currently to enter. They've come up with the Comedy Pet Photo Awards, giving you the chance to win £3000 by entering your funniest pet capture.

"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."

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

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. 

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 28th September. 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 2020.
