Bored Panda reached out to Michelle Wood, who is part of the Comedy Pet Photo Awards team, to hear more about this year’s competition. She was kind enough to tell us all about it, as well as the judging process.We were curious how tough the judges have it and what they’ll be paying the most attention to when evaluating the shortlisted entries. “When we start collating the images and viewing them for the first time, it is really tough to decide because they are all so good,” Wood told us via email.

According to Wood, the judges “inevitably” begin having favorites after going through all the finalists a few times. There are always going to be photos that you come back to time and again.“That is when I know it’s a special shot. As well as making us laugh and ticking the humor box, the photo has to be of good quality and something a little out of the ordinary. The ones that tell a story or seem to mimic our human behavior are always very popular,” she said.
