Rosettes & Prizes for competition classes Each of our competition classes has rosettes awarded from 1st - 10th place. We also have a prize for our winners. Prizes vary for each class and depend upon which sponsor is sponsoring the class. You can win things like treats for your dog, collars, art work and all sorts of other fun stuff. Special Rosettes We also award a number of special rosettes. These are awarded to competitors who may have just missed out on 1st - 10th place. The number of special rosettes awarded each month varies but we generally award around 10-15 special rosettes in total. Runners Up Prizes Each month we award a number of runners up prizes which include a Prize Paws biscuit and a voucher. The number of runners up prizes awarded each month is dependent upon class sizes.

We choose our judges carefully. They are all professionals with a love of dogs. We have a mixture of artists and creatives judging for us. We also have business owners. Very occasionally we invite one of our community to judge a class (this is a rare occurrence and if this is the case, it will be clearly stated on the class brief). Our judges are completely impartial. We rotate judges every month. Our judges don't know which class or classes they are judging until the competition closes. Once the competition has closed for the month, photos are sent off for judging. Our judges have 4 hrs to judge their class or classes. They return the results to me later in the evening. They are given no information except the class brief and the photos in front of them. The photos are numbered. We don't give any more information to our judges about your dogs. We don't even tell them your dogs name. They are judging purely on the credentials of the photo in front of them.

Make sure you read the class brief. This contains the info you'll need when choosing your photo. Take a look at our results page so that you can see our previous winners. This will give you an indication of what's required to be placed. Finally, always remember that you're being judged on your photography skills and creativity so blurred and badly lit photos just won't cut the mustard!

Yes you can. You can enter your dog in to a class as many times as you like. The only rule we have is that you may not enter a photo in to a class if that photo has already in the past won that class.

Yes they can. However it is important that you ask permission as your photo may be shared on social media or out website if you win.

Yes you can but you need to let us know. If you don't want your photo shared please include this info when you email us your photos. That way we can make sure your photos don't appear to the public if you win.

We want everyone to feel happy entering Prize Paws. Some people want to join in but don't want their photos shared on the web for various reasons. In order to make sure that this is possible we keep our judging area secure.

If you're keen to know how many entries we have, just drop me a message prizepaws@gmail.com and I'll let you know how many entries we have for each class.

No we don't publish any of your private info on either our website or social media. We will only publish your name, your photo, your dogs name unless of course you've asked us not to.

If you get placed in any of the classes then yes your photograph will be displayed on our website and across social media. We may also display your photo on social media if you haven't been placed. If you don't want your dogs name displayed along side the photograph or if you don't want your photo displayed on social media or on our website you need to let us know.

No you can't. We don't accept professional images. We don't accept watermarked images.

Yes you can unless the class brief specifically asks for one dog only.

Photoshopping is not permitted unless the class specifically asks for edited images. Black and white photos are only permitted in classes which ask for B&W images. Adjusting the tone, brilliance or exposure is permitted. It's important that you read the class brief so that you can ensure that you are working within the rules.
