Prizes
Grand Prizes:
The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 12 entrants that get the most votes.
The top winner will win a pet of the month spot and also the coveted cover photo for the 2027 calendar! 2nd - 11th place winners will have their pet featured as a pet of the month.
The top 12 vote getters will have their pet professionally photographed by Kasey Wilson Photography for the 2027 calendar.
All winners will have the opportunity to purchase products and images following their session if desired.
*If your pet is one of the 12 to be photographed for the calendar, you must be able to bring your pet to a pre-selected location in the Twin City Metro area during the end of August, September after the contest has ended for a professional outdoor/studio photo session. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or find yourself unable to travel to these pre-selected locations, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar, no exceptions.
