The annual Czech pet‑photo competition “Mazlíček roku 2026” moved into its final voting stage in late July, opening public voting on the Dotyk.cz and Denik.cz portals. Organisers halted new submissions after an overwhelming response, but displayed all entries, highlighting contestants such as Jack the staff‑breed mix and Stella.

By early August the contest confirmed that photo intake was closed and entered its second August voting round. Voters continued to choose among a diverse set of pets—including Dusty, Ben (Buňula), and the German Shepherd puppy Tracy—through the same online platforms. The competition proceeds with monthly winners and will culminate in a year‑end “Pet of the Year” award.
