  1. The competition is only open to practising RVNs, SVNs and veterinary nursing assistants who subscribe to VN Times, who work in veterinary practices and are residents of the United Kingdom aged 16 years or over. Veterinary surgeons are unable to enter. All entrants will be checked against our Vetfile database and the RCVS register for eligibility.
  2. Employees of pharmaceutical companies and veterinary companies that provide a service to veterinary practices are not eligible to enter. Any such entries will be invalid.
  3. Entries must be received by midnight on Sunday September 16, 2018. Entries will be shortlisted and readers of VN Times will vote to determine the top 12 and one overall winner. The winners will be notified by email or telephone by Monday November 5, 2018.
  4. We will accept a maximum of three photographs per person but please note that when it comes to short-listing only one of those entries will be able to go through to the final choice.
  5. Photographs must be in keeping with the theme “Out and About”, (i.e. animals outside) and must be accompanied by a brief description of the subject with a maximum of 100 words.
  6. Please supply the best quality and largest image you can. Avoid downsampling images for emailing purposes.
  7. High resolution digital entries must be emailed to outandabout@vbd.co.uk – most smartphones and digital cameras will take a reasonable quality photo. If emailing from a smartphone, choose the “Actual Size” option if asked about reducing message size. A minimum file size of around 1.6MB should be sufficient.
  8. Veterinary Business Development Ltd accepts no responsibility for incomplete or delayed entries.
  9. Each entry should include the animal’s name (if known), your name, telephone number, your qualification(s), practice name and practice address.

  11. By entering the competition you are giving Veterinary Business Development Ltd consent to retain your data for six months.
  12. All photographs must be the entrant’s own work. If you are submitting a photograph of your animal taken by someone else, please supply written permission from the owner that they are happy for you to enter it in the competition and for you to receive the prize if you are a winner.
  13. Photos may only contain animals or people if you have the owner’s/person’s prior consent. Written consent will be required from a parent/guardian/carer if any person under the age of 18 or vulnerable adult is photographed.
  14. First prize: £1,000 Amazon.co.uk voucher. Runners-up: 11 people will each receive a £50 Amazon.co.uk voucher. All 12 winning animals will feature in the VN Times 2019 wall calendar, with the first prize-winning entry appearing on the front cover.
