Andover Blue Cross is inviting pet lovers to take part in a fun Weird and Wonderful Pets Photo Competition this winter – with some fantastic local prizes up for grabs.

For just 50p per entry, residents can submit a photo of their pet showing off their most unusual or adorable side. Simply take a printed copy of your photo to the Blue Cross store in Andover, with your contact details written on the back.
The first prize is a bespoke pet portrait by renowned local artist Julie Rose, while the second prize is a self-care hamper.
Store manager Kim and her colleague Terri are encouraging as many people as possible to get involved. Kim said:
“It’s all about celebrating the joy that pets bring to our lives. We can’t wait to see everyone’s funny, cute and heart-warming entries – it’s going to be a real treat!”
Entries close on 15 December 2025, and winners will be announced shortly after.
For more information, pop into the Blue Cross store on Andover High Street and speak to Kim or Terri. For shop details, go to the Blue Cross Andover store section on the main website.
