- All owners (entrants) and cats entered into the competition must be available for photography and filming between the time of entry and the point of judging and agree to being contacted directly by the videographer selected by Cats Protection.
- All entrants will be asked if they are comfortable with their story appearing in the media (for example newspapers, magazines, radio and/or TV) and will be asked to confirm this in writing.
- The competition is only open to residents of the UK (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland only). It is not open to Channel Islands, Isle of Man or Republic of Ireland residents.
- Entrants must be aged 18 or over and the competition excludes employees, volunteers and their immediate families of the Promoter, its agents or anyone else professionally connected to the competition. For the avoidance of doubt this does not include vets or clinics that the Promoter works with in carrying out its main aims.
- If a story for a specific category relates to a specific event, this must have happened since 1 January 2021.
- Online entry only, internet access required.
- No purchase necessary to enter. Only one entry per household. Maximum of one prize per person and cat. Entries (bulk or otherwise) made from trade, consumer groups or third parties will not be accepted. No entries from agents, third parties, organised groups, syndicates or applications automatically generated by computer will be accepted. No incomplete, illegible, defaced, invalid or corrupted entries, or entries from multiple accounts, will be included in the judging. Proof of sending will not be accepted as proof of delivery. The Promoter takes no responsibility for entries delayed, incomplete or lost due to technical reasons or otherwise. In the event of this clause being breached, the entrant will be disqualified and any prize awarded will be void. Any malicious or manipulative attempt to influence the prize awards will result in disqualification at the sole discretion of the Promoter. If there is any reason to believe that there has been a breach of these terms and conditions or incorrect, illegible, fraudulent or other invalid or improper information has been provided, the Promoter may, at its sole discretion, refuse to fulfil the prizes.
