Best buddies in the Brussels Bubble: the cutest photo contest ever!


Share a picture of your pet with us and join our contest

You know your pet has the #PetPower! It’s time to let everyone in the Bubble know it!

Work can be pretty intense in the Brussels Bubble but going home to our pets is always a great relief.

Whether you enjoy dawdling with your dog in the park, cuddling your cat on the sofa, or bonding with your bunny over a veggie snack, we want to see the animals who bring you the #PetPower.

Send us your favourite pet photos and give your pet a chance at fame in the Brussels Bubble!

Winning entries will be announced during our #PetPower event on 30 September.

Photo contest rules & submissions:

  • We are accepting entries in two categories: 1) pets of people working in the EU institutions, 2) pets of other people working in the Brussels Bubble (trade associations, consultancies, NGOs, journalists, etc.)
  • You can share your pic with us via Twitter/X or Instagram, or sent it to us by email: petpower@petalliance.eu.
  • Include your name, your pet’s name, your email address, a caption and whether you work for the EU institutions or elsewhere in the Bubble.
  • Multiple pets may feature on your photo submission
  • If you want to star in the photo with your pet, that’s absolutely fine by us!
  • Your pet does not have to reside in the Brussels Bubble, as we know many of you have family caring for your pet in your home country.
  • A maximum of two photos are permitted per person. The deadline for submitting your photo has been extended until 22 September 2024.
  • Pet Alliance Europe reserves the right to use all photos submitted on their website, social media and print materials.

Voting:

  • A panel of bi-partisan judges will select the finalists.
  • The finalists will be voted on by the public via Slido. Photos of the finalists will be displayed at our PetPower cocktail on 30 September at Townhall Europe.
  • The final two winners will be selected by participants during our PetPower cocktail.
  • Pet parents may vote for their own pets – we know you can’t resist!

The Prize:

  • The winners in each category will be granted a €500 donation each to their favourite animal charity. The winner will communicate the contact and bank details of the charity and we will transfer the money.
