IT is one of the biggest competitions of the year so far.

Earlier this summer the Border Telegraph invited readers to send in pictures of their pets for the chance to be crowned our 2014 Pet Idol and win £300!

And we were overwhelmed by the response to the free to enter competition.

Readers have been voting for their favourite using the voting vouchers printed in the paper each week. This week we print your Top 20.

Voting will continue until Friday, September 12, with the Top 10 being unveiled on September 17. The final round of voting will close at noon on September 26 with the winner being announced in the Border Telegraph on October 1.

As the pets progress to the next round they take their votes with them - so every vote counts!

Good luck!
