The Comedy Pet Photo Awards 2024 finalists are here to have you howling with laughter

Attention dog lovers, cat enthusiasts, and appreciators of all things furry and funny. Brace yourselves for some belly-laugh because the finalists for the 2024 Comedy Pet Photo Awards have just been revealed. And, as always, they are hilarious!

We’re talking Kung Fu canines, wall-mounted felines (don’t worry, they’re fine!), a very hungry turtle, and a donkey who seems to have won the carrot lottery.

Created by animal-loving photographers Paul Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam, the competition celebrates the joy our furry (and not-so-furry) companions bring to our lives. It also reminds us of the importance of animal welfare, which we can all support.

The judging panel for the contest include TV presenter and animal advocate Kate Humble, professional photographers Gerrard and Jarvis Gethings (with special guest judge Barry the Border Terrier for some canine critique), plus vet extraordinaire Emma Milne and last but not least, Elke Vogelsang, a former winner herself.

Think you can sniff out the funniest photo? The People’s Choice Award is open to the public, too. Head over to the contest website and cast your vote for your favorite finalist. Not only will you be helping to crown the ultimate comedy pet champ, but you’ll also be entered into a draw to win £100 yourself.

The winners will be announced on June 6, so mark your calendars and get ready to celebrate the silliest, sweetest, most side-splitting pets on the planet. And in the meantime, here are the finalists to make you giggle and warm your heart!
