The World's Ugliest Dog for 2016 has been picked.

This year the title goes to a 17-year-old Chinese crested Chihuahua-cross....which is blind and almost bald.

SweePee Rambo scores a prize of $US1500 for its owner, at the contest in California.

Three judges used personality, appearance and the audiences' reaction to decide the winning dog from dozens of entries.

SweePee, with her glassy eyes, wrinkled skin and small tuft of hair, faced competition from entries like Zsa-Zsa, an English bulldog with a jutting jaw, protruding teeth and a floppy tongue that hung out of his mouth.

SweePee followed in the footsteps of last year's winner Quasi Modo, a pitbull German shepherd mix, whose deformed back resembles a hyena.

This was the 28th year of the competition.
