#contest all competition - A selection of entries to the Pet Personalities category will be chosen by our judge’s panel and put to the public vote for the People’s Choice Award!

In 2010 this award was presented to the photographer of the picture with the most votes, as chosen by the public. Seven photos were selected and published in The Sunday Express newspaper in October 2010 and the winner was announced at the award ceremony in December. The winner was Lydia Bradford of Stamford, Lincolnshire for her photo of her rabbit Toffee.
