Important guidelines for submitting photos

Each year, a number of photos are disqualified from consideration because the image size is too small, the pet is not the focal point of the photo, or the images include humans.
Following are guidlines for choosing and submitting a winning photo:

  • Photos must be high resolution - at least 1MB.
  • Photos must be jpg or tiff format.
  • Do not send directly from your phone! Image files are compressed by phones when they are emailed. Upload your photo(s) to a computer or tablet before sending.
  • Attach the original high resolution image to the email. (Choose send as an attachment). Do not imbed the image in the body of the email.
  • Photos should be landscape orientation to work with the shape of the calendar. If you submit a portrait orientation photo and it cannot be cropped to fit the calendar, it will be disqualified.
  • Pick a photo where your pet is the focal point of the image.
