GRAND PRIZE: The top overall vote winner will be featured in a full page of IAR’s 2023 calendar and will also be on the cover. This winner will be the winner of their respective category (IAR Dog, IAR Cat, Non-IAR Dog or Non-IAR Cat). The entrant will receive a free 2023 IAR calendar.
TOP IAR DOGS: The two IAR dog entries that receive the most votes will each have their pet’s photo on one full month of IAR’s 2023 calendar. The months will be determined by IAR. Entries must mention that the dog was adopted from IAR.
TOP IAR CATS: The two IAR cat entries that receive the most votes will each have their pet’s photo on one full month of IAR’s 2023 calendar. The months will be determined by IAR. Entries must mention that the cat was adopted from IAR.
TOP NON-IAR DOGS: The two non-IAR dog entries that receive the most votes will each have their pet’s photo on one full month of IAR’s 2023 calendar. The months will be determined by IAR.
TOP NON-IAR CATS: The two non-IAR cat entries that receive the most votes will each have their pet’s photo on one full month of IAR’s 2023 calendar. The months will be determined by IAR.
JUDGES’ CHOICE: Two entries (one dog and one cat) will be selected by IAR judges and will each be featured on one full month of IAR’s 2023 calendar. Winners from above categories will be excluded from Judges' Choice, so there will be no repeat photos in the calendar. The judges will consider the quality of the photo and the story/pet bio when selecting the two winners. ONLY IAR ADOPTED PETS are eligible for the Judges' Choice awards.
PET COLLAGE: The remaining 40 photographs with the most votes will be included in IAR’s calendar on one of two collage pages.
