Rules

Contest Rules

Donations made in support of an animal are valued at one vote for every $1.00 donated. Those who donate $15.00 or more will receive a tax-receipt.
If appropriate, if print-quality photos (see Photo Requirements/Rules) are not provided by the deadline, the Tulsa SPCA will offer the spot in the calendar to the next runner up.
By entering the contest, you acknowledge and give permission to the Tulsa SPCA to use the name, story and photo of the animal entered for future publications and materials, including - but not limited to - the 2024 Tulsa SPCA Calendar.

Contest Entry

Each entry is limited to one photo.
You may submit as many entries as you like, however only one entry per animal will be permitted in the calendar.
Only dogs and cats rescued in Oklahoma or adopted from an Oklahoma shelter or rescue may be submitted as an entry. No birds, rabbits, reptiles, farm animals, exotic pets or any other species are eligible for entry.
Once entered, all photos become the property of the Tulsa SPCA and can be used for print and marketing purposes.
The Tulsa SPCA reserves the right to disqualify an entry based on objectionable content or depiction of the animal or persons in a photo. If an entry is disqualified, donations collected will be refunded if requested by the donor.
