Image and Name Requirements for Winners
So long as an animal does not look distressed (e.g. fearful or anxious), you may enter the contest with whatever picture you choose. Winning submissions must follow the below rules to print:

  1. The label design includes the name of the animal. However, if a winning pet has a name that uses offensive or questionable language, or is in contradiction to BC SPCA policies, that pet's name will not be printed.

  2. Winners must own the rights to the photos they provide (i.e. photos taken by professional photographers who reserve the rights to their images are not eligible).

  3. Photos must be high quality and resolution. In general, they should be at least 3600x2700 pixels (or 12x9 inches) at a resolution of 300 DPI. (Generally, cell phones from 2020 onwards should take photos of sufficient quality.)

  4. Photos submitted must include only the winning animal (and no other animals or humans). The animal should be present in no less than 2/3 of the frame.

  5. Please ensure that the photo is sharp and in focus with a clean background.

  6. No images which are in conflict with BC SPCA policies or procedures can be accepted. Photos submitted must follow the Five Freedoms (spca.bc.ca/faqs/five-freedoms). The BC SPCA is opposed to practices that prevent animals from expressing natural behaviours. Photos should not feature animals performing unnatural activities, including wearing clothing, accessories (e.g., bows), or costumes. If a photo is deemed ineligible, the winning contestant will have five days to submit new photos. If a usable photo cannot be produced the label will go to the next highest fundraiser.
