Contest Rules
To ensure your pet's photo can be featured in the calendar, please review the following requirements before entering:
- Photos must be high-resolution, in color, and print quality.
- Your photo must feature only your pet(s) (dogs, cats, or a dog/cat combination). No people or other animals.
- Photos should be raw and unedited. Heavy filters, watermarks, text overlays, or other alterations are not permitted.
- Check your photo's print quality before uploading here. Your image should be 250 PPI or higher when printed at 12" × 12".
- If your winning photo does not meet print requirements, a Woods Humane Society staff member will contact you to request a replacement. If a suitable photo is not received by the deadline, the next highest fundraiser (runner-up) will be featured in this year's calendar.
- You may enter multiple pets/photos, but each photo requires its own fundraising page and registration.
- All submitted photos and stories become the property of Woods Humane Society and may be cropped, edited, or used for promotional purposes.
- Woods Humane Society reserves the right to remove any photo deemed offensive, inappropriate, or not meeting contest guidelines.
- All photo entries must be submitted by midnight PDT September 20, 2026.
