To participate, enter your favorite photo of your City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue alumni for a donation of $30 and then, share your photo with family and friends and invite them to vote for your pet to win a spot in the 2022 City Dogs & City Kitties Calendar! Votes are $1 each and all funds raised will support the important operations of City Dogs & City Kitties Rescue.

The top 6 winners in each category determined by the highest number of votes will win a spot in a professional photoshoot with talented local photographer Hannele Lahti, who is generously donating her time and talents, and will have their picture displayed in a coveted place on the walls of many CDCK supporters throughout the DMV and across the country as part of the 2022 calendar! The entrant with the most votes overall (cat or dog) will be our calendar cover star!

Don't have a CDCK alumni (yet) or not sure you want to enter for a chance to be in the calendar? You can still support our 2022 Calendar Contest by voting for and sharing your favorite entries, or Reserve a Day on the calendar and we'll put your favorite photo of your pet on the date square of your choice for a donation of $45 (one pet per day, dates are first come, first served).

The contest begins Wednesday, September 1st at 12pm noon and runs through October 1st at 11:59:59pm EST, so get ready to put your best paw forward for a chance at local calendar fame! Good luck!
