That's right, $3,700 is up for grabs in the newly announced Comedy Pet Photo Awards. Just take a humorous photo of a pet and you're in the running. And the best part is that it doesn't even need to be your pet. It can be anyone's. Read on for more information.

The Mars Petcare Comedy Pet Photo Awards 2020 has been launched in celebration of pets.The competition will be raising money for UK pet charity Blue Cross to assist them in their mission of finding happy homes for abandoned or unwanted pets. At a time when most of us are spending more time indoors than ever, this competition aims to encourage professionals as well as total amateur photographers to pick up a camera or phone and capture those funny moments with your (or someone else's) most loved pets. Not only will the competition aim to showcase the incredible impact pets can have on our lives, it will also look to raise awareness around homeless pets in the UK, a message that is at the heart of competition sponsor’s Mars Petcare’s mission of Ending Pet Homelessness.

An esteemed panel of judges, including Kate Humble, TV vet Emma Milne and an animal welfare expert from Blue Cross will then select the top 40 entries when the competition closes on August 31st, with the finalists being announced on 28th September. The team at Comedy Pet want to see all your pets; dogs, cats, horses and even guinea pigs. The winner will be announced on November 19th. The Comedy Pet Photography Awards is calling for entries up until August 31st and is open globally to everyone across the following categories:

Dogs

Cats

Horses

All the Other Creatures

Pets who look like their owners

Junior

Video

The entry fee is $6 for five images and $12 for up to 15 images. All the relevant information can be found here, at the Comedy Pet Photo Awards website. More info can be found here about Blue Cross. And here about Mars Petcare. So get cracking for your chance to win.

Daily Photo – Torii Gate in Kyoto

If you go to Kyoto, I recommend you visit this area with thousands of red gates at night. It’s open all night and there are absolutely no tourists. It can get a little creepy because you’re totally alone and there are no other humans around, but I like the creepy factor of the place. To add to the creepiness, there are lots of cemeteries sprinkled all around.

Photojournalism is perhaps the most emotionally rewarding type of photography. But the financial reward can sometimes be more elusive.

Great wars, great depressions, and even greater celebrations are stories worth telling and relating to the world. This is the domain of the photojournalist, tirelessly spending hours on end in the streets, traveling from country to country, and putting themselves in harm's way to make sure that the rest of us can be informed. They say the moment makes the man. And it is during the most trying times that the work of photojournalists around the world is most of value. We all face a trying time now. It may not be due to cannon fire, or the threat of nuclear fallout, but it is still a war for survival. We need photojournalists now more than ever.

But, of course, it’s even harder now than ever for a photojournalist to do their job. After all, how can you do the globetrotting necessary to cover a story when traveling at all right now is a major obstacle?

To ease at least some of that burden, Getty Images has announced the creation of The Reportage Grants. Each of the eight grants is worth $5,000 and will be awarded photographers safely reporting stories related to the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular consideration given to those working in their home locations or immediate regions. Health and safety remain a priority, and Getty Images asks that all applicants abide by local and national laws governing how journalists work and travel amid quarantine restrictions. Submissions will close on Friday, May 15 at midnight EST.
