The first entries have come in for our Pet Selfies competition 2017.

So far we've seen cats, dogs, budgies and even a horse get in on the action, but can you do better?

If you've got an unusual pet or just think you and your pet have got real star quality, we'd love to see your picture.

If you need a little help on how to snap the perfect pet selfie, just watch the video below:

There's £200 up for grabs for the best picture, £100 for runner up and £50 on offer for third place.

You can upload your pictures to us by clicking the button at the bottom or this article along with your name and telephone number.

The closing date is April 3, 2017. 

All images submitted will be in the Daily Echo on April 20, 2017, and readers will vote for their favourites.

The top 12 selfies will become our finalists and then the overall winners chosen by judges.
