Albelli Launches Photo Competition For Pet Lovers

Online photo book specialist Albelli – www.albelli.co.uk – is launching a competition to find the world’s funniest, most unusual and just plain cute animal pictures after its recent nationwide photography survey found that animal loving Brits take more photos of their pets than they do of their children!

The competition is open to anyone over the age of 18 and from any country, with entrants invited to upload as many as eight of their own pet photos onto Albelli’s dedicated Facebook page – www.facebook.com/AlbelliUK.

The winner of the competition will be decided by a public vote and will receive a stylish Flip Video Ultra Camcorder 2nd Generation With 4GB Memory. The easy-to-use, pocket-sized camcorder features one-touch recording and digital zoom and can capture 120 minutes of full VGA-quality video on 4GB of built-in memory.

Albelli’s survey of more than 1,000 UK adults found that women are the most snap happy around pets, with 54% saying they regularly took pictures of their favourite animals compared with 45% who took pictures of their children or grandchildren. By contrast, men were found to be far more family loyal with 47% regularly snapping their children and only 41% taking pictures of pets.

Regionally, the most prolific pet photographers were found to be in Scotland and the South West (58% and 57% respectively), although Scots redeemed themselves by proportionally also taking more pictures of their children (75%) than anywhere else in the UK.
