As the deadline for the 2023 RSPCA Young Photographer Awards looms, the animal charity is celebrating some of the finest entries from previous years.
The incredible snaps are taken by youngsters aged 18 and under and entered as submissions to the prestigious contest.
They range from an adorable pooch giving puppy dog eyes to a pair of amorous puffins.
Budding photographers have until 15 August to enter awards, which is now celebrating its 33rd year.
Award winning wildlife photographer, and judge, Emma Jacobs, said: "You might want to have a tissue ready for looking through our pick of some historic entries.
"Some will make you cry with laughter, others will make you weep from the emotion radiating from them - they all showcase what the RSPCA Young Photographer Awards is all about!"
There are ten different categories to choose from, including Pet Portraits and mobile phone and devices, and all creatures are welcome, from pets to wildlife, insects, farm animals and more.
TV presenter, and president of the RSPCA, Chris Packham said: "I am really excited about this year's RSPCA Young Photographer Awards and I hope many young people will get outside and photograph their favourite animals or bugs for this fantastic competition."
The winners will be announced in December 2023, at an awards ceremony hosted by Packham at the Tower of London.
