We're excited to announce our 3^rd Annual Photo Calendar Contest!

Last year's contest was such a hit – we've decided to do it again. Does your dog or cat have what it takes to be a calendar pin-up? This is your chance to find out. Enter your favorite dog or cat photo in our 2023 Pet Haven Pin Ups photo calendar contest. By doing so you'll be supporting Pet Haven's foster-based animal rescue work AND providing your pet with a chance at immortality as a monthly pin-up in our 2022 calendar.

Contest entry is only $5 (your entry fee also buys your pet's first five votes) and each vote is $1. Participants who contribute $25 or more, whether from photo entry fees, votes, or a combination, will receive one 2023 calendar delivered to their door.

There will be two Grand Prize winners – the cat and dog who receive the most votes in their respective categories will win a free photo shoot with one of the Twin Cities' best pet photographers!

Additionally, two Grand Prize winners will grace the outside and inside cover of the calendar and receive a copy of the calendar. The Grand Prize winner with the most votes will be on the outside cover and the second Grand Prize winner will be on the inside cover. There will also be 12 First Prize winners – the next six dogs and six cats with the highest votes. Each of those winning photos will be featured in the 2022 Pet Haven Pin-Ups calendar and the winners will receive one copy of the calendar.

Once your pet's photo is submitted, be sure to share the contest link with friends and family and encourage them to vote! Every dollar makes a difference in the lives of homeless dogs and cats - so we're encouraging everyone to vote early and vote often. As a further incentive to get out and vote, Pet Haven will be awarding three weekly incentive prizes – one each week for the first three weeks of the contest. We will award one prize to the entrant (dog or cat) that receives the most votes during that week. The same entrant is eligible to win the incentive prize in multiple weeks so encourage your friends to vote for your pet!

Please check out the rules for contest details and contact Lucinda Winter at board@pethavenmn.org if you have questions.
