Andover, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — Being adorable is one of the biggest attributes to have in this competition.
It's called the Cadbury Easter Bunny Contest, and last year, only rescue animals were eligible. This year, all animals can compete.
First prize is to become Cadbury's public face of the company for one year and its big star for its Easter Ad.
Last year's winner was 'Crash,' a very handsome orange tabby rescue cat who survived a bad accident with a broken leg and losing an eye.
This year, for the second consecutive year, an Andover woman is hoping one of her rescue animals, miniature therapy horse 'Peaches' has what it takes to become the next 'Cadbury Bunny'.
Last year, another one of her miniatures 'Stewie Vuitton' came in second place.
Toni Hadad is the founder and president of Lifting Spirits Miniature Therapy Horse Farm in Andover. She said this year could be 'the year'. "Everywhere we go, people tell us they voted for us, that we got robbed..." (laughs).
From all of the entries, Cadbury chooses the top 32 candidates. Then the public votes for the winner through a bracket-style elimination on Instagram.
The public can start voting on March 11.
