Spay Day USA Photo Contest
In honor of Spay Day USA, the Humane Society of the United States is sponsoring a photo contest.
Submit a digital photo of your pet along with a very short narrative about how this special sweetie has improved your life. When you submit your entry, you can make a list of up to 10 e-mail addresses of family, friends and co-workers who can be notified to vote for your pets.
(This is not the photo I submitted of my pooches. I swear I am not soliciting votes here, just wanted to give you an example.)
After your entry is accepted, you will get an e-mail with a URL you can forward to more friends and family to stump for votes. Only one vote per e-mail address is allowed, so no stuffing the ballot box.
The entry with the best photo and story combination will be determined by a panel of celebrity judges that includes Patrick McDonnell, the creator of the daily newspaper cartoon, MUTTS, and dog trainer and author Tamar Geller.
And what goodies await the grand prize winner? Prizes include a studio session with Amanda Jones, a nationally renowned and amazingly gifted pet photographer, a selection of Nature’s Miracle stain-removing products, a GPS pet locator, a shopping spree at the HSUS’s online store and, the best of all, a $5,000 grant to a non-profit organization that participates in Spay Day USA.
Another 35 runners-up, as determined by the judges, will also get an assortment of prizes, and the 500 top vote-getters will also win a prize from Nature’s Miracle. Winners will be selected by March 19.
If you enter, post a comment with your pet's photo URL.
