Is your pet the star of the show?

Vote for your Star of the Show nowWho wins? You decide!

The Burgess Excel judging panel were inundated with entries for the Star of the Show competition. We have spent many weeks going through some fantastic entries, deliberating on which should be shortlisted to the final 12. Much like the X Factor, the decision now lies in your hands!

The entrants are looking to secure your vote to become the faces of The Excel Feeding Plan's 2012 advertising campaign. So read their pleas carefully and select who you think should be crowned the Star of the Show!

All the finalists were marked on five key areas of responsible pet ownership: environment, behaviour, diet, companionship and health. For example, we were looking for evidence that each pet had a nice big hutch and run, lots of space and room to exercise, a same species companion, received regular health checks, and, most importantly, that they are fed a healthy high fibre diet that included hay, greens and water.

Update October 2011:

Following the sheer amount of great entries received into our Star of the Show competition, our judges have taken a little longer to decide their list of finalists. They wanted to ensure every entry was reviewed thoroughly.

As a result of all of the great entries, we have now decided to extend our shortlist from a final five to a final twelve. We will be announcing this final twelve before the end of this week (Friday 14th October 2011).

We will be contacting all entrants via email to let them know whether or not they have been successful. Those shortlisted will also receive a phone call to discuss the nomination process further.

We will also announce the shortlist on our website www.excelfeedingplan.com and on our Facebook page:

We can't wait to share our finalists with you - so get ready to cast your votes!

Burgess Excel

Are you and your fibrevore special enough to become the face of Burgess Excel?

Fancy winning a cash prize of £500 and a year's supply of Burgess Excel!

If so, then we've got just the competition for you! We're holding a nationwide search to find the face of our 2012 small animal advertising campaign.

Taking a starring role, you and your pet could become the faces of The Excel Feeding Plan, featuring in our 2012 advertising campaign and winning a great cash prize.

If you think you and your rabbit, guinea pig or chinchilla have got what it takes, in true audition style, we are calling on you, the owner, to tell us why your pet deserves the starring role.

For your pet to be in with a chance of becoming the star of the show, all you have to do is send us a video or photograph of your pet, along with an explanation detailing why you both should be selected, to our dedicated star of the show email staroftheshow@hatchpr.co.uk.

Much like the X Factor, a panel of judges will then shortlist the top five entries, who will be sent into the final round. The shortlisted finalists will have their video uploaded to the Excel website and will be encouraged to drum up as much support as possible by urging friends and family for their votes.

The judges will be marking pets and their owners on five key areas of responsible pet ownership: environment, behavior, diet, companionship and health. The kind of things we're looking for could include evidence of a nice big hutch and run, access to exercise, whether they are bonded with a fellow fibrevore, take regular trips to the vet and, most importantly, that they are feed a healthy diet of hay, greens and water.
