Love animals? We do, too! We know what pets bring to our lives, they are the gifts that keep on giving – from comfort and companionship to mayhem and mischief. But it’s the joy and laughter they provide that makes our pets so very special.
That’s why, in 2022, we launched the Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photography Awards! Our Comedy Pet Photography Award was a fun pet photo and video competition aimed to celebrate the magical moments we share with our furry family members.
What are the Comedy Pet Photography Awards?
The Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photography Awards called on pet and animal lovers to pick up a camera or phone to capture hilarious moments of their funny furry friends.
In 2022, there were multiple categories to enter. A winner was selected for each category, then an overall winner took home a £2,000 prize! Along with their prize money, the winner was crowned Animal Friends Comedy Pet Photographer of the year and chose a pet charity to receive a £5,000 donation on their behalf.
Why we wanted to be involved (again!)
We’re always looking for new ways to celebrate our pets, and after all the fun we had during the 2021 awards, we knew we had to get involved again. Plus, we wanted to help do even more to encourage the photographers, videographers and animal supporters of tomorrow, while giving back to some phenomenal animal charities!
Working with three terrific charities
Animal Friends donated a total of £35,000, with three separate charities having received £10,000 to help with the vital work they do.
Wild at Heart Foundation
Wild at Heart Foundation works to end the suffering of dogs around the world, providing a thanks to all they give us as companions. They believe that each and every rescue dog deserves the chance to live a healthy, happy life, free from the threat of pain, suffering, cruelty or neglect.
London Inner City Kitties
London Inner City Kitties is a small, volunteer-run, no-kill cat charity that rescues cats and kittens in London. The charity is working towards a city where all cats live in a loving home just like they deserve.
Dean Farm Trust
Dean Farm Trust rescues animals including ponies, donkeys, pigs, sheep, and ex-battery hens, to provide them with a home for life. The charity works towards a vision where all humans and animals are entitled to live a life free from suffering.
We’re delighted to give entrants the chance to connect with incredible charities, just like Dean Farm Trust – who received the £5,000 donation on behalf of the Overall Photo winner.
Together, we can help to make a difference for animals everywhere.

We know pets
Our pets are part of the family. To achieve our vision of a better future for pets everywhere, we work with our partners, vets, and other veterinary professionals who are pioneering the latest advancements in animal care. Our campaigns, articles, and events are crafted to support, educate, and celebrate pet owners, while our policies are designed to provide peace of mind at an affordable price.
Yet our policies don’t just protect against the unexpected – they have purpose, too.
Since we were founded over 25 years ago, we've provided industry-leading policies that protect the nation’s pets, while also making a difference to animal welfare and our planet. Thanks to you, our policyholders, we've donated over £9 million to more than 830 animal welfare charities and conservancies, helping to support vulnerable pets and wildlife around the world.
We’re proud to be wildly different. Are you?
