We all know that pets can be quite silly and quirky. Sometimes instead of getting an epic shot of your pup running, you get a picture that doesn't look that... majestic. That's exactly what these Comedy Pet Photography Awards focus on.
Every year, these awards announce the finalists for their funniest pet contest, where people from all over the world submit hilarious pictures of their pets. The pictures are bound to bring a smile to your face and make your day better! These awards were started by Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam. This year's prize includes £2,000, a gift bag, and a personalized trophy. The winners will be announced on November 24th. So if you have a wild pet that loves taking fun photos, think about joining these awards next year!
For now, let's enjoy the silliest photos from 2021 and if you missed the 2020 contest, click right here!
