FAQs

Who can enter the contest?
Anyone with a pet! Photos must be of a pet that is currently living and able to have a professional photo taken in late June 2022.

Can I enter all of my pets?
Sure! You can have as many pets as you want in one (1) photo, however we do recommend that each pet has their own photo/submission. Let them have their moment to shine!
*Note: If your photo of multiple pets wins, we cannot guarantee that all pets will be featured in the photoshoot. Decision is that of the photographer.

Why enter the contest?
Because you think your pet is the cutest! Plus, your entry fee of $10 (and all the money raised with votes) will help provide necessary medical treatment, surgeries, temporary shelter and essential programs for animals in need.

Who can vote?
Everyone! Tell your family, friends, co-workers, neighbours, and your social networks. Share it far and wide! The more votes you receive, the higher your chances of winning. Plus, every vote equals $1 that will help fund essential animal welfare programs and services.

What are the prizes?. The top six (6) photos with the most votes as of 7:00pm EST on June 14th, 2022 are the winners! You will be contacted to book a professional  mini photoshoot of your pet(s) with Take Ur Pic Photography to obtain a photo of your pet that will be featured on the front of a HBSPCA greeting card. These cards will be mailed to over 7,500 households in Hamilton!

Can I be disqualified?
The Hamilton/Burlington SPCA reserves the right to disqualify an entry based on objectionable content or depiction of the animal or persons in a photo. The registration fee, and any funds from votes will not be refunded.

What happens with my pet's entry once it's been uploaded? By agreeing to the waiver, you will also acknowledge and give permission to the HBSPCA to use the name, story and photo of the animal entered in future publications and materials, including the greeting card series.
