For the first time ever, young photographers are invited to enter their funny pet photos into the free-to-enter junior competition. “We are super excited to give youngsters the chance to enter for free this year,” said Paul Joyson-Hicks, co-founder of the Comedy Pet Photo Awards. “We all know how much our offspring love our pets so now’s the chance to encourage them to take some brilliant, funny photos.”
The donation from Animal Friends Pet Insurance will go to three charities this year, each receiving a sum of £10,000 ($13,400 / AU$18,200). They include the Wild at Heart Foundation , which strives to end the suffering of stray dogs all over the world, London Inner City Kitties, a small, volunteer-run charity that rescues in London, and Dean Farm Trust, a home for rescued animals. The remaining £5,000 ($6,700 / AU$9,100) will be donated to a charity chosen by the overall winner.
