THE RSPCA centre in Ashley Heath is encouraging people to take part in an Easter photo competition to raise vital funds for the charity.

There are four categories within the competition, one for rabbits, dogs, cats and small animals.

Each category will have placements of first, second and third place, with winners receiving a personalised rosette, a certificate and a small bag of treats

The Ashley Heath team will vote for their favourite 10 entries per category and those successful will be added to an Easter photo competition album.

The public will then vote for their favourites by liking the photos on Facebook.

For votes to be counted, the original post of the photo must be liked.

Entries for the competition close at midday on March 26 and entries cost £1.

Entrants that are 15 years old or younger must have permission from a parent of guardian to enter the competition.

Photos of animals wearing outfits will not be accepted and no refund will be issued if this occurs.

Only one photo per pet will be accepted, but you can enter multiple pets.

Email your photo entry to ashleyheath@rspca.org.uk and include your name, address, contact number and what category you are entering.

Your entry will only be counted if you email.

If you used a different name to the one you used for the £1 entry donation, please specify this in the email.

The entry fee can be paid here: https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/RSPCAAshleyHeath
