The National Pet Month ‘Hall of Fame’ Exhibition
National Pet Month celebrates ‘Great British Pets’ in its first ever ‘Hall of Fame’ photographic exhibition at Selfridges, London. Commencing on ‘Wet Nose Day’ Wednesday 23rd April, all the nation’s pet lovers are invited to pop down to Selfridges pet department to enjoy some precious pet moments.
Pet fanatics from across the nation have bombarded the National Pet Month headquarters with their nominations through a competition with Your Cat and Your Dog magazines. Over 700 photographs of cute, crazy, dynamic, talented and lovable pets were judged by an expert panel according to seven different categories.
For each category, a winner and two runners up have been chosen to go on display at the exclusive ‘Hall of Fame’ exhibition which runs for two weeks. The results are as follows:
Pet Portrait WINNER (and Best in Show) - Leanie Welch from Cheshire |
 |
Cats Caught in Action WINNER - Joni Redpath from Surrey |
 |
Cute & Cuddly Pets WINNER - Sara Sansom from Nottinghamshire |
 |
Best Friends WINNER – Rachel Bray from South Molton |
 |
Crazy Cats & Dynamic Dogs WINNER – Simon Fuller from Suffolk |

Animal Encounters WINNER – Stephen Sykes from Halifax |
 |
Talented Pets WINNER – Sandra Morton from Sutton Coldfield |

The overall ‘Best in Show’ winner in the ‘Hall of Fame’, Leanie Welch, will receive an exclusive Snappy Snaps Studio Shoot and canvas of herself and pet. All category winners will receive a year’s subscription to Your Cat or Your Dog magazines, a Snappy Snaps canvas of their photograph, a month’s supply of Iams pet food and the framed exhibition image.
