Voting opens for RSPCA photo competition
'Funny Face' shows Jess pulling a face as she tries to catch a ball – photograph by Ella Moakler-Woodhouse, age 10.
Children and young people have been snapping pics of pets and wildlife.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) has officially opened voting for this year’s Young Photographer’s People’s Choice Awards.

There are 15 shortlisted photographs, each entered by a young photographer aged 18 and under, which are vying for votes until the competition closes on 26 March.

The entries include several light-hearted and fascinating photographs of pets and wildlife. Photographs are sorted into three different categories: Mobile Phone and Devices, Pet Personalities and Pet Portraits.

Among the entries are a photograph of a dog pining for a treat, a sneaky cat hiding in the bushes and a dog pulling a funny face as she tries to catch a ball. There are also fascinating photos of wildlife including ladybird larvae, an ‘elegant’ slug and a jellyfish in an aquarium.

Online voting for the competition has already opened, with the competition winner due to be announced on RSPCA’s social media pages on Thursday, 27 May. The winning photographer will receive a £100 Amazon voucher and a trophy.

The annual competition is designed to inspire children and young people to take photos of pets and wildlife and become closer to nature. RSPCA hopes that the competition will inspire the next generation to help protect animals of all kinds.

Andrew Forsyth, RSPCA photographer and judge, said: “The photos shortlisted for the People’s Choice Award this year are fantastic and really varied, from some sweet and funny pictures of pets showing off their incredible personalities to stunning photos of insects in all their tiny glory.

“This is a brilliant selection of images from some passionate and talented young people - and we urge the public to not only enjoy these photos, but to vote for their favourite too!”
