Does your pet have the “it factor?” Now’s your chance to make them a star as the next Cadbury “Bunny.” For the fifth year in a row, the chocolate company is looking for its next star, but they don’t want just any animal. They want a rescue pet.

Food & Wine reports that Cadbury is holding a nationwide search for pets adopted from shelters to appear in their ads. But the brand doesn’t discriminate on pet types, so their new star could be a bunny, a dog, a cat, or even a pig.

The winning pet would appear in Cadbury’s ads for the Easter candy season. The winning pet’s human would get $5,000, as well as $5,000 for the animal shelter of their choice. It’s a win-win-win!

Entering the contest is simple. Just upload a photo of your pet being its cutest while wearing those iconic Cadbury Bunny ears. You have until February 23rd to enter and the top 10 finalists will be announced on March 6th. Then fans can vote for their favorite until March 14th. Get all the details HERE.
