- Fidelco approves the photos allowed to enter the contest.
- Contest participants are responsible for ensuring they have the right to submit photos. By submitting a photo, you affirm you are the photographer or have been given unrestricted use permission by the photographer.
*To be considered for inclusion in the Fidelco calendar, a high-resolution horizontal digital image of the winning photo must be available to send upon the end of the contest. A high-resolution file is 8 megapixels or larger, some cell phone photos may not qualify. If the winning photos do not meet the formatting criteria, Fidelco will highlight the photo in another platform, or arrange to use a different photo of the same dog(s) that will work.
