PURRS IN OUR HEARTS CAT SHOW 2011 INSTRUCTIONS 
PLEASE SEND YOUR PICTURES IN FROM SATURDAY 23 APRIL 2011 
1. Please send your entries to me, Rosella Moggy, at
RosellaMoggy@GMail.com. They should all be attachments rather than embedded into email. Each picture entered in Class 1 needs a LOLcat caption but it doesn't need to be on the photo. However, for more than 1 LOLcat entry, it would greatly assist if I am able to figure out which caption goes with which photo
2. All entries should have your Purrs name, the name of the Furbabe and the Class each photo is entered in. It would be fabulous if you were able to name pics before sending
(e.g. RosellaMoggy/Freddie/Class1LOLcats) but that isn't vital. The email should also indicate the amount of your entrance fees and the date you sent this to Purrs. Please send your entries to me as early as possible from Saturday 23 April; the
closing date for entries will be THURSDAY 5 MAY 2011 3. If you are able to resize pictures, please make them 600 pixels on the longest side. No worries if you are not able to do this, I will resize them for you
. Please do not send very small pictures cos we want to be able to see your beautiful furry friend as clearly as possible
4. You can enter as many pictures of each cat in any Class that fits the cat. However the cat must have been cared for by you at some point in its life
.
5.
It will be £1 per ENTRY per Class. This will usually mean £1 per photo
but Class 2 (From this to ....THIS) requires two photos per entry
so 2 pics for £1 for Class 2 only.
Funds raised will go to the Purrs Rescue Fund and be distributed by Tan between our registered rescues after the Cat Show Final.6. The Purrs Cat Show 2011 will open for voting on Thursday 26 May and the Top Cat will be announced on Tuesday 21 June 2011
7. Entry fees can be paid by the following methods:
-sent to the Purrs paypal account using the donate button at the bottom of each page. This allows you to pay by your preferred method, credit or debit card without a paypal account or via Paypal account if you have one. Please add a note marked Cat Show with your Purrs user name. Please contact a member of staff if you are unsure how use the donate button. It's very important that you say what the payment is for so Tan can identify the CAT Show entries.
(If you don't want to use the donate button at the bottom of the pages, you can also pay by paypal by logging on to you paypal account and sending the entry fees to donations@purrsinourhearts.co.uk This is just another way to pay by paypal so you can choose either to click the donation button
or logon to your paypal account)
-direct by bank transfer over the Internet which would save on Paypal fees. If you are able to pay by this method, please PM me or another staff member for bank details but again please show Cat Show with your Purrs user name on the transfer.
-sent by post using a cheque or money order. Please include a note of Purrs member name and how many entries. (so we can match to entry forms).
