2013 Best Arizona Pet Rescue Story
Sponsored by Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue
Photo Contest Rules/Guidelines:
Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue is holding its first annual online photo contest to raise funds to help rescue, care for and rehome dogs in need. The contest is open to any rescue animal in Arizona, not just Dobermans. A rescue animal is defined as any animal rescued from a not-for-profit organization/group. We encourage you to submit your favorite photos and ask your family and friends to vote and support the animals and programs at Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue!
1. Submit your dog's photo with a minimum $5 donation. Photos will be accepted on the contest website from December 1, 2013 12:00:00 AM (MST) through December 30, 2013 at 11:59:59 PM (MDT) for public viewing. Votes will be accepted on the contest website for the same time period. Votes are $1 each. Top vote-getters will win prizes as outlined in our prizes listing.
2. Photos become the property of Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue. By submitting a photo entry, you warrant and represent that your entry is your own original work created by you and that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your entry materials. Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue reserves the right to disqualify at any time any photo it determines to be unsuitable. If you submit an entry that is copyrighted by another individual, you are responsible for any legal action the copyright holder takes against you. You agree to indemnify Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue and hold them harmless from and against any claims of any nature arising in connection with the Photo Contest. Entrants grant Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue all rights of ownership, reproduction and royalty-free indiscriminate use of entries and photographs for any purpose. By submitting a photo to the Desert Harbor Doberman Rescue Photo Contest the artist agrees to give and grant to LILR, its employees, nominees, agents, successors and assigns, unlimited authorization, consent and permission to publish and use, any and all information about the pet and any and all reproductions of pet's likeness (photographic or otherwise), and with or without the use or disclosure of owner's name.
3. All donations are non-refundable for any reason.
