Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photo Awards 2021
 |
Today, 40 photo and three video finalists were announced for the Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photo Awards, 2021. Over 2000 entries were submitted from around the world. Created by Paul Joyson-Hicks and Tom Sullam, the competition was created to celebrate the vital role pets play in our lives. A partnership with Animals Friends Insurance will allow the organizers to donate £10,000 to Animal Support Angels.
'It has been a very odd 24 months for most of us, but one heartwarming life-affirming and consistent presence has kept many of us relatively sane and definitely happier than we might have been: our pet (or pets!),' says Sullam.
The Category and Overall winners will be announced in November. The photographer with the top image will receive a £2,000 cash prize. The entire gallery can be viewed on the Pet Photo Awards' website.
