Rules

Entries:

Each entry is $10. Participants may submit more than one photo, but each photo has a $10 submission fee.
Photos are to be of pets only (dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, etc.) and may have up to 2 pets pictured. People are not allowed to be in submitted photos. All animals must be depicted in a humane and dignified manner. Only animals who are able to come to Robyn White Photography's studio are eligible to win the top 13 prizes. (In other words, deceased pets, large animals, animals who are unable to travel to the studio, etc. can participate in the contest but cannot win one of the top prizes.)
All photos must be uploaded; we cannot accept printed photos. We also will not accept professional or copyrighted photos.
Once entered, photos become the property of Friends of CITY DOGS Cleveland and may be used at their discretion.
The submission period starts at 12:00:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, February 14, 2024 and ends at 9:00:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
Any photograph that includes content that is deemed inappropriate, indecent, or obscene as determined by Robyn White Photography and Friends of CITY DOGS Cleveland in its sole discretion, will be removed from the contest with no opportunity for a refund.
Posting more than one photo of your pet does not increase the chances of winning. The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entries that receive the most votes. The same pet can only win once. Attempts to win two spots in the calendar by the same pet will not be permitted.

Voting:

Each $1 donation counts as one (1) vote. There may be opportunities to earn additional "free" votes throughout the contest. These will be announced on the contest website and social media sites for Robyn White Photography and Friends of CITY DOGS Cleveland.
All donations from voting are non-refundable. Entries and donations must be made via the online contest page.
Contest votes may be tax deductible.
All winners will be determined by electronic vote tabulations under the supervision of GoGo Photo Contest, whose decisions are final and binding.
The voting period starts at 12:00:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Wednesday, February 14, 2024 and ends at 9:00:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Thursday, March 14, 2024.

Calendar Photo Session:

All winners will be notified by email by the end of March 2024.
The top 13 vote getters will win a professional on-location session by Robyn White Photography at her studio on the East side of Cleveland. All winners must be available to schedule their in-studio session by June 5, 2024. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during these times or find yourself unable to travel to the studio, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will be offered your pet’s spot in the calendar.
The top vote recipient will win the coveted cover photo for the 2025 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, Robyn White Photography, will choose the best image of the pets to be used in the calendar as well as which month your image will appear.
All winners will receive an online gallery of their images with the option to choose one digital image as part of their prize package. They will also have the option to purchase additional digital images, prints, and gifts including their images.
The photo session and digital image combination is valued at $250.

The Fine Print:

By submitting a photo entry, you warrant and represent that your entry is your own original work and that you own or otherwise control all of the rights to your entry materials. If you submit an entry that is copyrighted by another individual, you are responsible for any legal action the copyright holder takes against you.
Calendars will be available to the general public around mid-September 2024.
By participating in the contest, entrants agree to release and hold harmless Friends of CITY DOGS Cleveland and Robyn White Photography and each of their respective officers, directors, representatives, volunteers, and agents from and against any claims of any nature arising out of participation in the contest or receipt or use of any prize.
