How are the votes counted?
Donations made in support of the cause are valued at 1 vote for every $1.00 donated. The minimum donation is $5 which equals 5 votes. There may also be promotions where donors can get bonus votes.
How do I win or get a spot in the calendar?
Fundraise! Get your family and friends vote for your pet(s) in the contest. You can also vote for your own pet. It all supports the Ruff Start Calendar Contest. Each week of the contest, there are fantastic prizes for top-voted dogs.
How do I change my entry photo?
To change your entry photo, please email the new photo and a link to your contest entry to
robin@silverhoundstudios.ca.
My pet has passed away. May I still enter them?
Because each calendar winner will be photographed for the calendar by Silver Hound Studios, the winners have to be living pets. You can honor your pet in memoriam by purchasing a date in the calendar grid for his/her photograph
HERE.
If I win a spot on the calendar, what happens next?
Robin will contact you soon after the contest to organize a complimentary session to photograph your winning pet for the calendar. If you would like to have more images taken or include more pets or people, you can request an upgrade to a full photography session for $99.00. With your upgraded session, you'll receive a $200 credit to use for artwork or image purchases.
Can I be disqualified?
Silver Hound Studios reserves the right to disqualify an entry based on objectionable content or depiction of the animal or persons in a photo.
When and where will the winners be announced?
You'll receive e-mail notifications to the e-mail address you provide with your entry information. Robin will keep you posted about prizes, winners, and what happens after the contest.
