People's Choice Overview
3X People’s Choice winners are selected based on the total number of public votes the entrant receives. These votes are submitted via SMS, Ozow or Snapscan (charged). 50% of all profits generated by the competition are donated to a registered pet-affiliated charity. Should the competition fail to generate a profit in a specific month, a minimum amount of R2,500 will be donated to the charity. The charity recipient (for the next competition not yet open for voting) is chosen by the People’s Choice 1st prize winner.
Angel's Choice Overview
3X Angel’s Choice winners are selected by the previous month’s nominated charity. To be eligible for the Angel’s Choice competition, entrants must feature in the Top 100 at the close of the competition. Winners of the People’s Choice Awards do not qualify.
StarPick of the Month Overview
The StarPet Pick of the Month is chosen by the StarPet team and must have accumulated 20 votes during the month to be eligible. Winners of the People’s Choice and Angel’s Choice Awards do not qualify
The competition is run monthly. Entries for the following month’s competition open and close on the first and last days of the current month. Voting for the current month’s competition opens and closes on the 1st and last day of the current month. Winners will be announced by the 7th of the month following the competition close date.
We encourage voting via eft or Snapscan to get better value for your money and to ensure a bigger portion of your vote cost reaches the charity.
