If your dog makes you smile every single day, why not let them make a difference to another dog’s life too?

The Dog Charity Calendar Competition is a fun and interactive fundraiser, bringing together dog lovers to celebrate the companions who mean so much to us, while raising vital funds for Clymping Dog Sanctuary—a small West Sussex charity dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming dogs who deserve a second chance.

Participants will have the opportunity to have their dog featured in a 2027 Charity Dog Calendar.

Entering couldn’t be easier. Simply upload your favourite photo of your dog onto the competition website, make a small donation to the charity, then encourage your family and friends to vote.

Throughout the competition, we’ll be sharing updates, leaderboards and exciting announcements on the Joanna Jones Photography Facebook and Instagram pages, so be sure to follow and cheer everyone on.

The 12 dogs receiving the most public votes will each win a professional photography session with Joanna Jones Photography. From that session, Jo will personally choose the image she feels best captures your dog’s personality to feature in the 2027 charity calendar.

There are even more opportunities too. Two lucky winners will appear on the front and rear cover, and every winner will receive additional prizes. Even if your dog doesn’t finish in the Top 12, there is still an opportunity for your dog to feature in the calendar!

Everything you need to know can be found in the Competition Rules and FAQs below.

Let’s celebrate the dogs who make our lives better… while helping those still waiting for someone to love them.

The competition is open to all dogs, wherever they came from.

The link to the photograph entry and voting page will be posted on social media at regular intervals during the competition.

Your dog does not need to have been adopted from Clymping Dog Sanctuary

Entry is £5 per photograph.

You’re welcome to enter as many dogs as you wish. Each photograph counts as a separate entry and will incur the relevant entry fee.

For the best chance of success:

• Use a sharp, high-resolution photograph.
• Landscape (horizontal) photographs usually work best.
• Natural light generally produces the nicest results.
• Make your dog the main focus of the image.
• Avoid heavy filters or excessive editing.

Please see the Official Competition Rules for the full photo requirements and eligibility criteria.

Votes cost £1 each, and you can vote as many times as you like.

Voting closes at 23:00 (GMT Time) on Sunday, 30 August 2026.

Absolutely!

The aim of this competition is to raise as much money as possible for Clymping Dog Sanctuary while having fun along the way.

Entrants are encouraged to share their dog’s entry and the competition with family and friends to help raise funds for a fantastic cause.

Winners will be chosen by the total number of public votes they receive.  The dog with most votes will place first and so on.

The 12 dogs with the highest votes will receive prizes, including a personal photography session with Jo, their dog featured on one month within the calendar and a complimentary copy of the calendar.  More prizes are being added, so check the Prize section for full details.

That’s the great thing about this competition!

Thank you for supporting the Charity Calendar Competition and helping raise funds for Clymping Dog Sanctuary.

Every dog deserves the chance to feel safe, loved and valued.

Clymping Dog Sanctuary provides a lifeline to dogs who have been abandoned, neglected or simply run out of options. With patience, compassion and unwavering dedication, the team works tirelessly to rehabilitate each dog, helping them regain confidence before finding the loving home they deserve.

Behind every successful adoption is an enormous amount of care — veterinary treatment, behavioural support, nutritious food, warm beds and countless hours from dedicated staff and volunteers who put the dogs first every single day.

By entering the Charity Calendar Competition, you’re helping to support that work.

Every entry, every vote and every calendar purchased contributes towards giving more dogs the second chance they deserve.

Together, we can celebrate the dogs we love while helping those still waiting to find their forever families.

https://clympingdogsanctuary.co.uk/

Hello, I’m Jo.

I’m an award-winning pet photographer based near Chichester, West Sussex, specialising in creating natural outdoor portraits that celebrate the unique character of the dogs who share our lives.

Before becoming a photographer, I spent 30 years as a police officer. Throughout my career, people trusted me during some of life’s most difficult moments. Today, that same sense of care, honesty and responsibility is at the heart of everything I do.

I know that our time with our dogs never feels long enough. That’s why my photography isn’t about perfect poses or creating images for social media. It’s about preserving memories that will still mean something years from now.

Charity has always been an important part of my business. Through previous calendar projects, I’ve helped raise funds for the RSPCA and Cancer Research and I’m delighted to be partnering with Clymping Dog Sanctuary for this year’s competition.

My promise is simple: this competition will be run fairly, professionally and transparently, with the welfare of every dog always coming first.

Thank you for supporting this wonderful cause. I can’t wait to meet some of the amazing dogs who will help make this year’s calendar so special.

Over the past few years, I’ve had the pleasure of supporting Clymping Dog Sanctuary by donating photography experiences as raffle prizes at their popular Fun Dog Show events.

During that time, I’ve seen first-hand the dedication of their volunteers and the difference they make to the lives of the dogs in their care. They are a charity that is genuinely valued within the local community and have earned a reputation for putting the welfare of every dog first.

Like many rescue charities, they rely heavily on fundraising to provide food, veterinary treatment, rehabilitation and everything else their dogs need while they wait for their forever homes.

This calendar competition is my way of helping them continue that incredible work, while celebrating the special bond people share with their own dogs.
