Pets of the Year Calendar Contest Rules

  • Photos must be high-resolution in order to be printed in the calendar.

    • If a submitted photo wins the contest but does not meet print calendar requirements, we will contact you asking for an eligible photo. If a large enough photo can not be provided, a new color portrait will be taken by Woods Humane Society and the photograph will become a month spread in the 2026 calendar and the next runner-up will be selected for the 2025 calendar.

    • To check your photo size, go to https://www.pictorem.com/checkprintsize.html

      • Under CHECK YOUR IMAGE SIZE & QUALITY, click SELECT FILE

      • Select your photo

      • Once your file has uploaded, scroll down to the Print Size Recommendations. Look for the ppi associated with your photo when printed to at least 12” x 12” in size. A ppi of 250 or more means your photo is print quality for the calendar. 

  • All story submissions (written narratives about your pet) become the property of Woods Humane Society and may be edited.

  • Photos must be in color and feature a dog (or dogs), a cat (or cats), or a dog-cat combination. Photos must not include people or other types of animals beside dogs or cats.

  • Your pets do NOT have to be adopted from Woods Humane Society to be eligible to enter the contest.

  • One registration per photo. You may register more than one photo, but you must register them separately. 

  • Photos should be raw and unedited. Photos with heavy filters, watermarks or other alterations will not be eligible for the print calendar. Clear, well-lit, horizontal photos will look the best in the print calendar. Read more tips for a good photo. 
  • Any photos deemed offensive, indecent or obscene will be removed from the contest.

  • All photo entries must be submitted by midnight PDT July 31, 2024.

  • All photos submitted become the property of Woods Humane Society and may be cropped or edited.
