This year's winners for the competition's fifth consecutive year are as adorable and hilarious as expected.
The photography competition, now in its fifth consecutive year, awarded the Overall Winner placement to photographer Sarah Haskell for the image titled “Not just for Cats!” The adorable photo captures Hector, who is notably a dog, attempting to get through a cat flap. If the small size of the opening wasn’t enough of a giveaway, the words “Cat Mate” appear at the top, making it clear Hector isn’t exactly the target audience here.
“Hector saw the cat do it… so thought he would give it a try. This is about as far as he got before reversing out the way he came. I can imagine him thinking, ‘But the cat made it look so easy.’ Not so for Hector!” says Haskell.For winning, Haskell receives £500 , a camera bag from Think Tank, and a bespoke trophy, according to the Comedy Pet Photo Awards. She said she plans to use the money on a bigger cat flap and some camera gear.
“I have carried a camera pretty much in some form since school days, but it is only recently that I have worked out that pet photography, dog photography in particular, is what I like doing,” Haskell added. “The interaction with these expressive, clever, often comical characters, when I am doing ‘pawtrait’ shoots, can only make me smile!”But Haskell, who also won the Dog Category, is one of many winners.
