The top 13 vote getters will win a professional on-location photo session by Kelly Mac Studios at pre-selected locations in Orange County and the Inland Empire area during April and May, 2025. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or find yourself unable to travel to one of 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.
The top vote recipient will win the coveted cover photo for the 2026 calendar. The following 12 recipients with the most votes will be eligible to have their pet featured as a pet of the month. The photographer, Kelly Mac Studios, will choose the best image of the pets from their photo sessions to be used in the calendar, as well as which month that image will appear.
Each week, there will be a mini-contest for new votes, and the pet receiving the highest number of new votes will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses.
Each pet may only win a weekly mini-contest once.
In the event of a tie, a random computerized draw will be held between the highest vote getters of the week to determine that week's winner.
In the event that there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized draw will be held for all eligible pets.
Certain individual business restrictions and limitations may apply and may vary by business. Kelly Mac Studios is not responsible for these restrictions and eligibility requirements as determined by each business.
