The Shropshire Star has launched a new competition for pet owners

The Shropshire Star is launching a new competition, inviting pet owners to submit their favourite picture of their pet to be in with a chance of walking away with up to £500 in prize money.

We have long been a nation of pet lovers and everyone knows that animals really do make a real difference to our lives.

To celebrate our special bond with our pets we want to see your best photos – or Pawtraits – of the animals that are part of your family.

They can be easily uploaded online and all pets are welcome – no matter how small, furry or funny!

Photos of your pets can be submitted from today (February 24) until 5pm on Sunday, March 8. They will all feature in a supplement in the Shropshire Star on Wednesday, March 25

From there you will have the opportunity to vote for the pet that you think has the perfect portrait by sending in voting tokens, which will be printed in the Shropshire Star daily from March 25 until Saturday, April 18.

The deadline for submitting tokens is 5pm on Friday,April 24.

The overall winner of the competition will secure the coveted title of the Shropshire Star’s most popular Pawtrait Pet of the year as well as £500 in prize money.

So, get your cameras at the ready and get snapping!
