Submissions:

Sunday, 17th January, 2010 – Saturday, 23rd January, 2010 (GMT)

Voting:

Sunday, 24th January, 2010 – Saturday, 30th January, 2010 (GMT)

Processing rules:

No composites.
No "Digital Art" effects, ESPECIALLY manipulation to change the appearance of either the pet or the human to match each other.

Capture date rules:

No restrictions.

Additional rules:

Please avoid the "kitsch" of putting sunglasses, hats etc. on the pets. The similarities between pet and owner should be inherent in how the pet naturally behaves and appears. Unless the pet wears sunglasses or other human garments all the time, such photos will be disqualified.
Likewise for having the people wearing pet collars, or eating out of pet food bowls, etc. Those images will be disqualified as well.
The idea is to show images which display similarity between the pet and owner in looks, personality and behavior, under normal, everyday circumstances.
