Enter PETA’s UK and Ireland’s Most Beautiful Vegan Over 50 Competition 2020

To show that a vegan lifestyle and a clear conscience are the key to vitality at all stages of life, we’re calling on the many wise and wonderful vegans who have crested 50 to enter our competition for a chance to win a fabulous prize, an award-winning eight-course vegan tasting menu for two at top London restaurant Gauthier Soho. Could you be PETA’s UK and Ireland’s Most Beautiful Vegan Over 50? We encourage everyone – male, female, or gender non-conforming – to enter.

We know it hasn’t been feasible to take to the streets to call for an end to animal exploitation during the unprecedented COVID-19 outbreak, so we want this competition to be a celebration of people who are keeping animals off their plates and out of their wardrobes – and finding creative ways to advocate for them – during the pandemic. If you’ve found new ways to speak up for animals at this time, please tell us about them when you enter.

PETA’s competition seeks the vegans over 50 who dazzle the most – on the inside even more so than on the outside – and who use their compassionate nature to speak out most compellingly for animals. So, do you – yes, you – have what it takes to inspire others with your passion for animal rights?

Before you enter, here are a few quick questions:

Are you over 50?

Rules are rules.

Are you beautiful?

We don’t mean having great headshots or a certain body mass index. We’re looking for vegans who are compassionate, enthusiastic, dedicated, optimistic, smart, fun, encouraging, and uplifting – all these virtues are super-attractive.

Do you take action for animals?

There are many, many ways to help make the world a kinder place for animals, and we want to hear yours. From organising digital protests to rescuing abused and neglected animals to sharing delicious vegan meals with your community, the sky’s the limit.

If you answered “Yes” to all these questions, show the world that you have what it takes by entering the UK and Ireland’s Most Beautiful Vegan Over 50 Competition.
