Nylabone, a manufacturer of dog chews, bones, treats, and toys, is launching a 'Make Us Smile' Facebook competition, inviting users to share video clips of their dogs demonstrating their individual 'canine character' that makes them one of a kind and brings a smile to the face of their owner and others.

The winning entry will become the Nylabone Face of Facebook – featured as the mascot for the Nylabone Facebook page for 2011/12 as well as being given product previews and a chance to test products before they come to market for one year. There will also be prizes for shortlisted entries.

The competition takes place in September in support of Pet Smile Month. Facebook users can enter the competition by submitting a YouTube video link to the Nylabone Facebook page at www.facebook.com/nylabone.uk.

The clip will be judged on how well the clip captures the dog’s personality, demonstration of a happy, healthy dog and the extent they can say it ‘Makes Us Smile’.

Facebook users are encouraged to vote for their favourite clips, then the shortlisted finalists will be judged by leading pet experts.
