Love and Second Chances, in partnership with Paws and Play Studio, is happy to announce its first calendar for 2022. Proceeds from the sale of the calendar and photo contest go into funding medical cases, providing supplies for dogs in foster care, and enabling Love and Second Chances to rescue more dogs in need.
We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your dogs and ask your family and friends to vote for them. Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win. Fees for photo entries and votes will help Love and Second Chances continue their efforts with helping death-row, abused, and neglected dogs find forever homes.
Prizes
Grand 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 2022 calendar! 2nd - 13th place winners will have their pet featured as a pet of the month. Entries featuring two pets will share a month if they place among the top 13 vote getters. The top 13 vote getters will win and enjoy a 30-minute, professional dog photography session with Paws and Play Studio for the 2022 calendar, including a social media file of the chosen photograph! All winners will have the opportunity to purchase products and images 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 a pre-selected location in the San Mateo County, Santa Clara County, and/or San Francisco County area from May through October 2021 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 dog's spot in the calendar, no exceptions.
