Contest Eligibility & Requirements
- Open to all Maine Coon cats or Maine Coon mixes—adopted from Maine Coon Rescue or not!
- Cat Name: Please provide the name of your cat. We’d love to read a brief bio to get to know them better!
- Photo Quality: Submit high-resolution photos—these may be enlarged for the calendar, so we want them crisp and clear. If the quality is too low, we’ll reach out to you for a replacement.
- No People: Please refrain from submitting photos with people in them, but multiple cats or other pets are welcome!
- Original Photos: Only original photos taken by the owner will be accepted. Professional photos will not be allowed.
Important Notes
- All photos become the property of Maine Coon Rescue and may be used in online content, print materials, or marketing.
- We reserve the right to decline any photo submissions that do not meet our guidelines.
- Tie for Grand Prize: If there’s a tie for the Grand Prize, both cats will receive the prize package and share the cover of our calendar!
We can't wait to see your Maine Coon's personality shine through in the photos! Thank you for supporting our cause!
