Just enter your favorite photo of your pet for FREE and rally your friends, family, co-workers, and everyone else to vote for your pet to win one of 13 coveted spots in the 2025 Paw Prints Calendar. Voting requires a $1 donation for each vote. Feel free to cast multiple votes, and allocate them however you wish! Voting begins the moment the first picture is submitted, on June 1st, 2024 at 9:00am. Good luck to every pet!

• The 13 single photo entries with the most votes will be eligible to have either the submitted photo or a photo from their awarded photoshoot featured as a full-page pet of the month OR as the calendar cover, with the top vote-getter selecting from the cover or any of the 12 months, the 2nd highest vote-getter selecting from whichever spots the first place winner did not choose, and so forth.
• The next 12 highest entries will be eligible to have their submitted photo featured as a 3.75" x 5" size photo on the bottom page of a single month, with each entry receiving their choice of the available months in order of the vote total from highest to lowest.

Reserved Sidebar Spot Example (Click to enlarge)

Looking for a bigger way to guarantee your pet a spot in the calendar? Each month has two 3.75" by 2.25" spots on the right side available for you to reserve for your pet's photo. Just choose your favorite photo, then choose an open spot on your preferred month and pay. First come first served! Once a spot has been reserved, it will no longer be available. Each spot is $100. Reserving a month sidebar spot does not enter that photo in the contest. However, you may use the same photo in both the contest and to reserve a sidebar spot. To reserve your spot, please email Katie Stryker at kstryker@leoncountyhumane.org for more information.
