Calendar Photo Session:
The top 13 vote getters will win a professional on-location photo session by SoulJourners Photography at a pre-selected venue in the Portland, Oregon area during June 16th-July 8th, 2023. Small dogs (30 lbs or less) may be photographed in studio. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or you’re unable to travel to these pre-selected locations, you will forfeit your winning and the next top vote earner will take your pet’s spot in the calendar, no exceptions.
The top vote recipient will win the coveted cover photo spot for the 2024 Calendar. The next 12 with the most votes will be eligible to have their pet featured as pet of the month.
The photographer, Melanie Wood of SoulJourners Photography, will choose the best image of the winners to be used in the calendar as well as which month that image will appear.
Weekly Mini-Contests:
The pet receiving the most new votes each week over the first 3 weeks of the contest will win a mini contest from one of the participating businesses.
Each pet may win a weekly mini contest only once.
If there’s a tie, a random computerized drawing will be held of the highest vote getters to determine the winner.
In the event there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized draw will be held for all eligible pets.
