After 31 years of developing a theme to encompass our largest annual fundraiser, Paws on Parade, we have decided to include our community in the creative process. Here’s how it works:
Artists are able to contribute by designing and submitting a logo that encompasses the spirit of Bangor Humane Society and makes a dog central to the theme. This can be created using any medium (graphic design, painting, etc.) as long as it can be reproduced for print.
Each entry is $5 and artists may submit as many unique works as they like.
Public voting starts as soon as submissions roll in. Each vote costs $2. You may vote as many times as you like.
Online voting will end at 12pm EST on Wednesday, September 25th and the Top Ten will be determined. If your work has been selected as one of the Top Ten, you will be contacted and invited to Paws on Parade for the final round of in-person voting. The top 10 logos will be brought to Paws on Parade 2024 and displayed for in person voting on Saturday, September 28th at Husson University.
Each Paws on Parade registration will include ONE ticket to be used at the event to cast an in-person vote for the best logo. Additional tickets for in-person voting will be available for purchase at the event. These tickets can ONLY be used to vote in person and are not transferable to online voting. To register for the event, please visit

All votes will be counted during the "Parade" portion of Paws on Parade and the winner of the logo contest will be announced LIVE at the end of the event. All artists are encouraged to attend the event but need not be present at Paws on Parade 2024 to win or receive prizes. The winning logo and theme will become the property of Bangor Humane Society and will be used for all applicable marketing efforts for Paws on Parade 2025 (see prizes below).
