How to enter

Entries open 15th September 2024 NZST

Traditional Sections

Three photographs per entry are required with the entry form. Please choose photographs that are uncluttered and clear. Choose a photo that best captures your pet. Please make sure there are no persons or identifiable objects in the images.

The three required photos are:

Front-on head shot – can be close-up of head or full body

Full body shot – this can be any angle/position you choose

Profile shot – can be close-up of head or full body

​Photos taken by amateurs and professionals are also accepted. You must retain the photographer’s watermark when using any licensed photos.

Please be aware that kittens cannot be submitted in the traditional area until they are at least four months old.
Kittens: four to nine months
Cats: nine months and older

Age is determined by the photo’s age. If the images were taken on various dates, the oldest age should be used, which is the cat’s age in the most recent photo.

Pedigree entries must be registered with a recognised cat fancy. The registered name, including the prefix, must be provided. There is no need for a registration number.
