One pet 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 pet 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 pets.
