This competition has the best prizes ever because PetStreet is the Social Media Partner for the ´Discover Dogs´ Show in London on 14th and 15th November, as well as the proceeding London Dog Week.

The last Pet Idol had some great photos and it was geared up to give members with pets other than dogs and cats a chance. The winner were Christina Kennedy (rat photo) and Carole (rabbit). Let me have your addresses.

Lets hope we can keep up the standard for the new competition that is very much doggy - Why my Dog is Special.

There will be two lots of judging. On Sunday 15th November at Discover Dogs, there will be a special prize awarded by Peter Purves for his favourite entry so far - a Crufts experience which includes tickets to next year´s show and seats for Best in Show plus a goody bag.

Then on Nov 20th the entries at the top of the chart, that also have great captions (its not just position) will win something from this list:-

* A Vari Kennel Ultra – Intermediate traveling kennel for medium sized dogs (it measures 32" x 22" x 23"h)

* One of two sets of "Mikki Winter Rescue Remedies". A pack that contains an Anti Tangle Comb, Slicker Brush and Mikki Moult Master from the Mikki Grooming range. And to rid the house of loose hair, a Mikki Pet Hair Magnet.

* A pack of two BBC books - one of the current "Life" series and one of "Wildlife Photographer of the Year".

* Two sets of two trendy Breo Sports watches - the fastest selling wristwatch of 2009.

That´s six prizes in all, plus the special Crufts experience. How cool is that?

So quit yappin´ and get snappin´ and it can be any interpretation of the subject you like. (Remember captions and relevance to the subject count - especially if it gets close at the end. Winners are not just based on their chart position but also on whether they have thought up a witty caption, the statistics and the photo.).
