    Ho Ho Ho!

    It's been wayyy too long since we had a photo competition for the forum, and I for one want to see lots and lots of pictures of your pets!

    So what's in it for you if you win?
    I will donate €25 to the animal charity of your choice, as long as it is based in Ireland, and is registered as a charity with Revenue:)
    I will donate a further €25 to the Santa Strike Force (SSF) on your behalf:)

    So, how will this all work?
    Well, it is based on the super-duper Virtual Pet Show which was run here in 2011.

    Here iz de rulez:
    1. We will have 13 Categories. The winner of each category will be selected based on the number of "thanks" it gets. The most thanked picture in each category goes forward to the Grand Final to be considered for the overall First Place.
    2. At the start of your post, please clearly state which category you're entering with each photo.
    3. Each poster can enter one photo per category (note this rule change, made 17th Dec at 10.30ish am!)
    4. One picture per post. Any additional pictures beyond the first will be deleted. If you want to enter the same picture in more than one category, post it twice so that each can be voted for separately.
    5. Please keep the photo size to a maximum of 640 x 480!
    6. Do not quote photos... these posts will be deleted.
    7. This competition is open to pet animals of all species.

    So, here's what your post should look like:
    Category 2: Oul Wans
    Name: Fido
    Age: 12
    Then your picture.
    If you need to put in a little blurb about the photo, do so under the photo.


    Category voting will finish next Saturday, Dec 21st at 9pm sharp.

    The winner of each category will go forward to the Grand Final, voting for which will close on Monday December 23rd at 9pm sharp.

    Hi all,
    Can we keep the size of photos down a bit?
    If we could have maximum size of 640 x 480 or thereabouts?
    Thanks!

    This fits into so many categories but it was taken when she was a baby so I thought I would enter it into that. She is about 3 or four months old her. Look at her little face :D

    Dogs with Jobs

    My little daughter lives with an extremely rare life limiting genetic condition. This little dog Abbi brings some normality to her life which for the past 6 years has consisted of non stop appointments and therapy!

    Mod note:
    Okay, okay... Under immense pressure, we're going to open this up a bit, so that each poster can enter one photo into each category.
    Now, set yourselves free on your photo libraries!
    Enjoy yourselves!
