Contest Rules

The contest runs from 6:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Thursday, June 4, 2026 through 9:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Monday, July 13, 2026. Get those photos in early and keep the excitement going until the final minute!

• $10 per photo entry
• $1 per vote. Every entry and every vote directly support GRRAND’s mission to rescue and care for dogs in need.
  
  

• Submit high-resolution images (300 DPI or higher) for crisp, calendar-quality printing. The larger the file size, the better the quality.
• Horizontal photos look best on the calendar pages
• Upload the original digital file from your phone or camera
• Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, TIFF
• No editing needed—GRRAND will reach out if adjustments are required
• A GRRAND dog must appear in every photo (other pets are welcome!)
• No people in photos to protect privacy
  
  

• Enter as many dogs as you’d like—each earns its own votes
• If you submit multiple photos of the same dog, only one can be included in the top 13
• All submitted photos become part of GRRAND’s marketing and print materials
• GRRAND may decline or replace photos if needed; refunds are available if a suitable replacement can’t be provided
  
  

If two entries tie in votes, the earliest submitted photo wins—another great reason to enter early!

Every photo, every vote, and every share helps GRRAND continue its life-changing work for dogs in need of a second chance.
