Calendar Photo Session

The top vote recipient will win the coveted cover photo for the 2021 calendar. The following 12 recipients with the most votes will be eligible to have their pet featured as a pet of the month.
The photographer, Paws and Play Studio, will choose the best image of the pets to be used in the calendar as well as which month that image will appear.

Weekly Mini-Contests:

The pet receiving the highest number of new votes each week over the course of the 6-week contest will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses.
Each pet may only win a weekly mini-contest once.
In the event of a tie, a random computerized draw will be held between the highest vote getters of the week to determine that week's winner.
In the event that there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized draw will be held for all eligible pets.
Certain individual business restrictions and limitations may apply and may vary by business. Paws and Play Studio is not responsible for these restrictions and eligibility requirements as determined by each business.
