Ideas and opinions needed

I have a chance to enter into a photo contest with a friend alpaca, Jasper is a therapy alpaca and registered with the delta society.
The theme of the contest is " interaction" the owner is suggesting that we go into the local senior home ( Jasper has been there recently and they adore him ) and take a shot of a LOT of Old hands on him.. What do you think? Do you have any ideas?
Jasper recently visited my friend there in his room as he is on hospice now and bedridden he really enjoyed the visit.

I would try to zoom in closer to "personalize" the interaction (try to eliminate the handlers, wall, bed, etc). A smile on your friends face would be "golden"!
If you can, print a copy and a simple cardboard frame. Great memory for your friend! Great for visitors to admire and comment about!

I just wanted to show you Jasper.... this man got many good photos of them.. but the contest is the challenge now as the owner wants to show a lot of hands all sizes and colors on him. " interacting" just not sure how to show that.. maybe have everyone on one side of him? Take the photo from above?

I kind of like the one in the hall with Jasper and everyone following behind him, like a build up of excitment.
#2 is my second favorite.

He belongs to my friend , I just am his papparatzi lately. He does great work in the community and has visited the mayor office, schools, and does wiork with a MS camp for kids. The list goes on. he is really much smaller than most alpacas and trained well for his job. his handler , a 12 year old kaylyn is an amazing kid !
Helen wasn't sure what to think of jasper - she is 95

I didn't even SEE Jasper at first: he is almost completely hidden against his handler. The same is true of most of the other 'visiting' pictures. You need MUCH more emphasis on the alpaca and the people he is visiting, and much less on anyone else in the room.
When you're judging a competition (and I've done it often enough), the first round of discards is those that you don't IMMEDIATELY see as something novel or well composed, so without wishing to be cruel, I'd say that (a) you have a great idea that could be a real winner but (b) these pictures don't do justice to the great idea.
Cheers,
