PDSA launches children's competition to 'capture' Animal Antics

Animal-mad kids should keep their cameras close by this summer - as PDSA launches its annual Pet Protectors Photographer Awards.

 

Youngsters are being asked to submit their own photos around the theme of ‘animal antics’, capturing pets or wildlife expressing natural behaviour.

 

The competition is open to all children, and there are two categories; 12 and under, and 13-18 years old.

 

The winners will each receive a digital camera, so they can keep capturing their favourite animals in action, and a CeWe Photobook. Plus, they will be invited on a VIP tour of one of PDSA’s busy PetAid hospitals, where they can see first-hand the work the charity does treating sick and injured pets. Finally, their photo will be published in the Pet Protectors Club magazine, Animal Antics.

 

Runners up will also receive a CeWe Photobook and a Pet Protectors goodie bag as well as a photoframe!

 

Pet Protectors Club manager, Vicki Craighill, says: “PDSA is looking for talented kids to enter their animal pictures into the Pet Protector Photographer Awards 2010.

 

“We’re on the look-out for some great photos of animal antics. So if you can focus on a ferret, zoom in on a zebra, or get a close up of a cat, make sure you keep your camera close by this summer. You could be our winner!

 

Entry to the competition is free and full details can be found at www.pdsa.org.uk/petprotectors. Photos can be emailed, with the entrant’s full name, address, date of birth and telephone number to photocomp@pdsa.org.uk, or sent to Pet Protectors Photographer Awards, PDSA Head Office, Whitechapel Way, Telford, TF2 9PQ.

 

The competition is open to all UK residents under the age of 18. The closing date for entries is 30 September 2010.
