It's the Calendar Photo Contest of the Virginia Beach SPCA - one of our most important fundraisers! We hope that you and your friends will participate and vote.
Submit photos of your favorite pet(s) for a chance to win one of 11 coveted spots in the 2019 VBSPCA calendar and have your
pet be recognized as a shelter pet ambassador! And all while helping to raise critical funds to enable the VBSPCA to continue caring for animals in need.
The entry fee is $25 (one entry per photo). Each entry includes one free calendar. Entries and votes can be made online and by mail. There is a minimum of $5 to make votes by mail.
All entries and votes must be submitted by the deadlines listed below to be pictured in the calendar or to be counted. Entries and votes made:
- Online: To submit photos online, click on the Participate tab above and follow the directions to upload a photograph of your pet. Online entries must be received by September 30th, 2018, 9:00:00 PM EST.
- By mail: Mailed photos should be sent to: VBSPCA Photo Contest, Attn. Photo Fundraiser, 3040 Holland Road, Virginia Beach, VA 23453. Mailed entries must be received by September 9th, 2018, 4:00 PM EST.
- Participants selected as a full-page winner will be notified and must be available to attend a photo session with Dee Akright Photographers the week of September 25th through September 28th. If you submitted a photo in memory of your pet, a shelter animal will be selected for the full-page photo session. We will include your original photo of your pet for that month as well. If you are unable to attend a photo session, we will select the next winner with the highest number of votes.
Prizes
The top 11 participants to receive the most votes when the voting period ends will be contacted by the VBSPCA. Your beloved pet will be a "Model of the Month" for one of the calendar pages of the Virginia Beach SPCA's 2019 calendar and will be professionally photographed by
Dee Akright Photographers.
Additionally,
all participants to achieve 200 votes or more for their photo entry will receive four free 2019 calendars by mail.
