THE Daily Echo’s Shrek lookalike competition has attracted a host of entries.

Readers have been sending in their photos to show how closely their loved ones resemble the star of this summer’s most eagerly awaited comedy film.

Below is our Shrek gallery of the best entries.

The three best ‘Shreks’ will each receive a pair of tickets to see the new film Shrek The Third at Southampton’s Odeon cinema at Leisure World.

Our overall top ogre will also receive a facial plus neck, back and shoulder massage worth £100 courtesy of Rachel Jones at No1 Beauty Studios in Dolphin Lane in Southampton.
