We\u2019ve relaunched our annual competition in association with Cottages.com to celebrate the dogs we love. Simply enter your favourite photo of your dog, and you and your four-legged companion could win wonderful prizes courtesy of Cottages.com. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

We want to see high-quality photos of dogs enjoying themselves outside \u2013 especially out in the countryside. Try to capture the character of your dog having fun and make your dog the focus of the image. <\/p>\n\n

HOW TO ENTER <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

The competition opens for entries on 26 <\/strong>September <\/strong>2022. <\/strong>Enter by heading to countryfile.com\/competitions\/doty<\/a>. <\/strong>Then simply input your details and those of your dog \u2013 and upload your favourite photo. <\/p>\n\n

There are five categories you can enter. The Big Dog, Medium Dog and Small Dog categories are based on the Kennel Club ratings for breeds. If you\u2019re in any doubt as to which category is the right one for your dog, visit the Kennel Club A\u2013Z of breeds to find out more. thekennelclub.org.uk\/search\/breeds-a-to-z\/ <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n

There\u2019s also a Working Dog category for traditional country breeds, such as border collies and golden retrievers, plus a special award for Best Rescue Dog. You may enter your dog into two categories (for example, Rescue Dog and Big Dog) if appropriate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? <\/strong><\/h5>\n\n

The deadline for entries is 25 October 2022. <\/strong>A preliminary judging round from the expert picture editors on BBC Countryfile Magazine <\/em>will create a shortlist for each category. The shortlisted images will then go to a public vote, from 1\u201315 November, <\/strong>on our website countryfile.com<\/a> <\/strong>to find the winner in each category. We will then select a supreme champion Dog of the Year from the five category winners. <\/p>\n\n
