Tails & Tales: Pets Photo Contest

Our pets are more than animals — they are family, friends, and everyday companions who fill our lives with emotion, character, and unforgettable moments.
In Tails & Tales: Pets Photo Contest, we invite photographers to tell visual stories about life with pets, capturing their personalities, habits, and the special bond they share with people.

We’re looking for images that show real moments: playful energy, quiet naps, funny expressions, loyal companionship, or simple everyday routines at home or outdoors. Whether it’s a dog waiting by the door, a cat curled up in the sunlight, or a pet interacting with its owner, each photo should feel like a small story.

This contest celebrates domestic animals and pets — not wildlife. Portraits, lifestyle scenes, candid moments, or creative setups are all welcome, as long as the image focuses on the life and character of a pet.
Color or black & white, funny or emotional, simple or artistic — all styles are welcome.

What We’re Looking For

Pet storytelling — images that feel like a moment from a real life story
Personality & expression — character, mood, funny faces, or emotional connection
Everyday life — home routines, walks, playtime, rest, or simple candid moments
Pets & people bond — interaction, companionship, and love (optional but encouraged)
Any style welcome — portrait, lifestyle, candid, creative, documentary, or fine art
Domestic animals only — no wild animals as the main subject
