The famous Vet Show Passport Competition is back at BVA Live! You could be in with the chance to win a two-week adventure trip for you and a friend through WVS in Blantyre, Malawi.

You will be volunteering at the Blantyre SPCA. The centre offers free vaccinations, sterilisation, and other treatments to sick and injured stray animals or those from low-income households in the city of Blantyre and rural communities in the district. Mission Rabies, the sister charity of WVS, also operates in Blantyre, providing life-saving canine rabies vaccinations, educating children and adults as to how they can protect themselves from rabies, and running surveillance campaigns to monitor rabies cases in the area.

You will mainly be working at the well-equipped BSPCA clinic near the centre of Blantyre, however, outreach clinics to rural areas may also be scheduled, giving you the chance to see the stunning countryside and meet the community. You will also get the opportunity to visit the stunning Majete Wildlife Reserve, where WVS provides veterinary care to wildlife and anti-poaching dogs. 

You will get the opportunity to have the experience of a lifetime in Malawi, whilst using your veterinary skills to make a real difference. Simply complete your passport at the show and drop it off at the WVS stand for the chance of winning this incredible trip! 



Highlights

How to get involved:

STEP 1

Don't forget to complete all the fields on the competition page.

STEP 2

Stand

Make sure to stop by the stands of all the exhibitors listed on the back page and collect a stamp from each one on your passport.

Fun fact: Did you know exhibition time counts towards your CPD hours?

STEP 3

Floorplan

Tear out the competition page, locate the WVS stand (refer to the floorplan if needed), and drop off your entry in the ballot box.

Keep in mind, once it's submitted, you can't retrieve it, so ensure your details are complete and you've gathered all the stamps!

STEP 4

Passport

Make your way to the theatre on the second day (refer to your showguide for the specific theatre) where a fortunate winner will be chosen randomly and revealed to embark on a two-week journey to Goa!

WVS will work with you to find a suitable date, based upon travel restrictions and availability. Any trip will be subject to local, national, and international restrictions and regulations. WVS reserves the right to change dates or destinations to ensure the trip is safe. WVS cover the costs of economy class return flights (to and from the charity placement only), necessary in country transfers, accommodation, and some of the organised activities. Any additional activities, meal expenses, visas and vaccinations are to be covered by the winners. The trip needs to be booked within 3 months and taken within 12 months.

Meet a past winner: 2023's Hayley Edwards!

Hayley Edwards won a two-week adventure trip to the Galapagos Islands for herself and a friend!

She volunteered at the Galapagos Animal Doctors while experiencing the beautiful island and wildlife.

“I was lucky to be 2023's winner of the passport competition to volunteer with the Galapagos Animal Doctors! My friend and I had the most incredible time, it was so rewarding to help support a practice that does so much amazing work in the community. We also got to see a lot of interesting wildlife including the famous giant tortoises and marine iguanas”
