A SELFIE competition launched for pets and their owners is hoping to go viral to raise money for a Barnsley dementia charity.
The ‘Me and Thee’ photography competition is tapping into the selfie trend to encourage folk to take a snap of themselves with their pet to win a prize and be named best in show.
It is launched live at Crufts dog show on March 9 and will run for one month.
Barnsley Independent Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support group is hoping the stunt will go viral on social media as people taking part will be asked to post pictures with the hash tags ‘#me&thee’ and ‘#BIADS’.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
