The 2nd Annual Juried Pet Portrait Competition

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens! It’s time for another Trekell Juried Pet Portrait Competition. The 1st Annual competition was held last year in 2019 and was a smashing success, so we’ve decided to do it again.

Your entry fee is your purchase of an official 2020 Trekell Pet Portrait Panel. 

This year’s panel is a completely different shape than last year! First place in the Advanced category wins a $1,000 Trekell Gift Certificate! Wow us with your best pet portrait. If that pet happens to be a tiger, well, stay weird, 2020. 

This year's judge will be the winner of last year's competition: Sergio Lopez.
