Welcome to our fourth annual Pet Portrait Contest: A FUNraiser for the Animal Rescue League of Berks County. For this year's contest, you will find more than 170 works of art by guest artists who volunteered their time and talent to create these incredible masterpieces for pet owners. Once again, the ARL is partnering with Reading Coffee Roasters to create an exclusive ARL coffee blend (check out last year's blend here), and YOUR pet or artwork could be on the label! Plus, our second place winner will win a free 30 minute photo shoot with their pet, courtesy of Lindsey Hart Photography!
Your vote and participation in this contest is not only fun, but it directly supports our lifesaving and heart-driven work: Whether protecting the abused and neglected, caring for the sick, sheltering the homeless or finding new homes for abandoned, your participation today provides lifesaving funds necessary to care for nearly 5,000 animals who need our help each year.
$1 = 1 vote!
Prizes for our 2023 Pet Portrait contest…
The grand winner will be the face of ARL's exclusive coffee blend along with their/artist's own name of the blend*. (Check out last year's coffee blend here!)
Our second place winner will receive a complimentary 30 minute mini photo shoot with their pet with local photographer Lindsey Hart!
The top 5 winners and artists will be invited to join ARL at Reading Coffee Roasters to taste test and decide which of their coffee flavors will be the ARL blend.
The top 10 winners and artists will have their pet portrait displayed in the front lobby at the shelter for a whole year.
* Name subject to ARL approval. ARL exclusive coffee blend will be available for one year after its launch.
