Voters are prompted to make a donation (minimum 5 votes) at the time of voting. Entries will receive one vote for every $1 donated during the voting process.
After you submit your entry, you have the opportunity to ask your friends and family members to donate-to-vote by sending them the URL for your entry or using the "Tell-A-Friend" form when you log in to your account on the Contest website. Keep in mind that you cannot combine votes from separate photos/entries.
All proceeds benefit Pedro Pet Pals in support of animals in need in our community.
If you make a single $25 donation at one time for votes or other reasons, you will have the '25 votes' needed to earn 'ONE FREE' copy of the completed 'Best Pet Pals 2026" calendar*. Please note the maximum number of FREE calendars provided to any single participant.
Examples: - $25 will get 25 votes and one free calendar.
- $50 will get 50 votes and two free calendars.
- $ 75 will get 75 votes and three free calendars.
- $100 will get 100 votes and four free calendars.
This formula will continue on counts of $25. Donations beyond $100 are welcome and donors will still receive 4 free calendars.
Voters do not have to use all votes at the time of donation. Upon donation, voters will be given the option of applying all of the votes to one image or storing the votes in an account. If voters choose to store votes, they can be accessed and voted with a User ID and password at any time during the contest voting period.
