Rules

Up to two entries per dog is encouraged and honorary Chesapeakes are welcome too. Dogs do not have to be rescues to enter. No humans, please!
Photos of Chesapeakes doing “Chesapeake things” are encouraged! Action shots, funny shots, even cute puppy shots! Keep in mind that all photos must be high resolution and your own work!
Each photo submission entry will be approved for content, quality and pixels. Please be sure to read the submission guidelines. No charge to upload a photo, but it will be approved before it appears on the website!
Photos must be high resolution (to work for the calendar). A minimum of 300 dpi. Horizontal photos work best. All photos will be reviewed for proper format before being posted for a vote. If you’re using a cell phone, set your camera for the highest resolution photos possible!
Each vote is a tax-deductible donation of $2 to CBRR&R.
Poor quality photos will be rejected. We’re sorry, but we have hundreds and hundreds of photos. We’ll try to reach out and let you know why your photo was rejected, but please be sure to check your email to see the rejection notices. You’ll have an opportunity to correct the photo, but no refunds on votes will be given if you submit votes to a photo which can’t be replaced.
