A photography studio is appealing for entries in its competition to find an area's "Prize Pooch".

Venture Photography, in South Woodford High Road, is looking for the best pet dog in the region, with the winner getting a framed portrait of their pooch worth £350.

Entrants must upload a photo of their dog to the firm's website, with the winner chosen from an online poll.

For each entry the business will donate £1 to Battersea Dogs and Cats Home.

The regional winner will then compete nationally against other top dogs chosen by Venture stores across the UK, with top prizes including a VIP tour of Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, accessories and a year's supply of pet food.

Entries for the competition close on June 21.
