Zsa Zsa, an English Bulldog with an exceptionally droopy tongue, was named the World’s Ugliest Dog this weekend.

The competition is a send-up of the traditionally strict purebred dog shows that reward perfection; contest organizers instead celebrate “the imperfections that make all dogs special and unique.” Now in its 30th year, the contest is part of a larger Sonoma-Marin county fair in Petaluma, California.

Take a look at reigning champion Zsa Zsa and her other worthy competitors.
