The minimum donation to submit an entry for the Yakima Humane Society’s Paws of Yakima: 2026 Calendar Contest is $10 per photo.

Each entry must include a photo of one or more pets. People may be in the photo, but the pet should be the focus.

You may submit as many entries as you like. Each photo requires a separate entry fee. All entries must be submitted online through GoGoPhotoContest.com. We cannot accept mailed or emailed submissions.

Entries must be received by 8:00 PM (Pacific Time) on Monday, November 10, 2025. Once submitted, all photos become the property of Yakima Humane Society and may be used, edited, or modified for marketing and promotional purposes.

Photos deemed inappropriate or inconsistent with our mission may be removed at the discretion of Yakima Humane Society staff.

All domesticated pets are eligible, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, birds, reptiles, aquarium fish, and domestic farm animals.

Pets do not need to have been adopted from Yakima Humane Society to participate.

Photos must feature pets owned by the entrant or submitted with the pet owner’s permission.

Acceptable formats: JPEG or PNG.

Photos should be horizontal, high-resolution, and clearly show the pet’s face.

Images must depict animals in a humane and respectful manner.

Each dollar donated to a pet’s campaign equals one vote.

All donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law and are final.

Votes must be cast through the GoGoPhotoContest platform and applied before the contest closes to be counted.

An email address is required to vote so that a donation receipt can be sent.
