 Pets & Pals photo contest
Pets are such an important part of many people's lives, it's only natural to want to capture that joy with a picture that can be savored for years to come. Contestants may enter photos in any of these categories:
Photo contest - Best Friends
Honor the joy and friendship of pets with a picture of an individual animal, people with animals, or an animal with other animals.
Photo contest - Families and Pets
Pets are considered a part of the family, so get some or all of the family together for a priceless photo opportunity with the family pet.
Photo contest - Down on the Farm
On a farm, animals are everywhere! And so are opportunities to capture them in their most interesting moments.
Photo contest - Shelter Life
Shelter staff, volunteers, veterinarians and animal control professionals are as devoted to the animals in their care as they are to their own pets. Here's the chance to recognize that labor of love!
