SO we’ve had X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing. But what about “Pets Factor”? Or “Kitten’s got Talent”? How about “Pup Idol”? Let the Stourbridge News put your pet centre stage in our 2011 competition. We are searching for the area’s cutest and most lovable pets. Send us your pet picture – and your pet could be crowned one of three Stourbridge News “PETS FACTOR” winners of 2011! There are three categories for your pet to enter:

  •  
  • “Pup Idol” for your lovable puppy or dog..
  •  
  • “Kitten’s got talent” for your special cat or kitten..
  •  
  • “Xtra Pets Factor” for all other pets – fur, feather or scales! .

All you have to do is email us a photograph of your pet plus a caption to the photo of up to 20 words. This will be published with the picture and could help them win the title! Closing date is Friday, January 14 and all entries will appear online on stourbridgenews.co.uk from January 17 through to January 29 – during which time our readers will be able to vote for their favourite. The top 10 pets from each of the three categories will then appear in a special feature to be published in the Stourbridge News on February 3, 2011. Voting will then take place again from these finalists to find out who are the three winners of PETS FACTOR 2011. Simply email a photograph* of your pet to petsfactor@midlands.newsquest.co.uk Please also include your pet’s name, your name and address and a contact number plus the caption of up to 20 words. (*please send the best possible quality photo as poor quality pictures may not reproduce well in print if your pet gets through to the final 10.)
