The prizes will be announced in a newsletter and social media posts for each week. All Vancouver Island Dogs are eligible to compete for these VANCOUVER ISLAND WIDE prizes.

In some weeks, there may also be an additional LOCAL PRIZE reserved for the dog with the highest number of NEW VOTES in that particular week. The local prizes will be announced for each week in a newsletter and social media posts. Local prizes are redeemed at the place of donating business. In the event of a tie, a random computerized draw will be held between the highest vote-getters of the week to determine that week's winner. In case there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized draw will be held for all eligible dogs.
