Prizes

• The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entrants that get the most votes.
• The top 13 vote getters will have their pet professionally photographed by Cherry Willow Photography for the 2026 calendar.
• The participant with the most votes will win the coveted cover photo for the 2026 calendar.  The next 12 place winners will have their dog featured as a pet of the month inside the calendar.
• All winners will have the opportunity to purchase products and digital images following their mini session, or can choose to upgrade to a full experience photoshoot package with increased time and agreed upon location at discounted rate, if desired.

***If your pet is one of the 13 to be photographed for the calendar, you must be able to bring your pet to travel to specified location as decided by photographer within the Westchester/Dutchess area between September-October 2025 for a professional photo session. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or find yourself unable to travel to these pre-selected location, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar, no exceptions.

One pet each week who receives the highest number of new votes for a particular week will win a mini-contest prize from one or more of the participating businesses. In the event of a tie for that week's most votes or if there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized drawing will be held for all eligible pets.
