THERE’S still time to enter our Gwent’s Prettiest Pet Competition, as entries continue to pour in.

There are two winning spots up for grabs for animal lovers.

The winners will get a painted pet portrait, worth £170, by Welsh artist Christopher Langley, who will be on the judging panel.

A public vote will determine the other winner, who will also get a pet portrait by Mr Langley, who has an ongoing exhibition at Hortons Coffee House in Newport

The competition is not specific to any animal, so whether you have a bubbly budgie or a slithering snake, whether they have a wagging tail or big floppy ears, send your photo for a chance to win.

The deadline for submissions is Thursday November 15.

When submitting a photo please include your name, address, daytime telephone number, and your pet’s name.

This can be done by emailing: newsdesk@southwalesargus.co.uk

Alternatively, submissions can be posted to: Pretty Pet Portrait Competition, Newsdesk, South Wales Argus, Cardiff Road, Maesglas, Newport NP20 3QN.

Entry is free, so you’d be barking mad not to enter.
