Prizes

The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entrants that get the most votes.

The top winner will win the coveted cover photo for the 2026 calendar! 

2nd - 13th place winners will have their dog featured as a pet of the month. The top 13 vote getters will have their dog professionally photographed by Pam Gabriel Photography for the 2026 calendar.

All winners will have the opportunity to upgrade to a full session and to purchase products following their session if desired.

*If your dog is one of the 13 to be photographed for the calendar, you must be able to bring your pet to an agreed upon location with Pam Gabriel Photography on pre-selected dates near Inver Grove Heights, MN between May and July  2025 for a professional on-location photo session. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or find yourself unable to travel to these pre-selected locations, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar, no exceptions.  Pam Gabriel Photography may travel beyond 30 miles of Inver Grove Heights, MN for a session, but a milage fee will be added on. 

One dog each week who receives the highest number of new votes for a particular week will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses. On promotional periods, promo prizes will also be awarded to the dog who receives the highest number of new votes during that particular promotional period. In the event of a tie for that week's or day’s most votes or if there are no new votes for that week or day, a random computerized drawing will be held for all eligible dogs. Certain individual business restrictions and limitations may apply and may vary by business. Pam Gabriel Photography is not responsible for these restrictions and eligibility requirements as determined by each business.
