Photos must be high quality, high resolution (at least 300 DPI) in a generally accepted file format (JPEG, TIFF, PNG). Since most pictures will appear on date squares, please choose a photo that can be cropped to fit a square shape (if your photo is very wide, or tall & thin, part of your cat's image may get cut off to make it fit)
Photos that don't meet the minimum resolution requirement will not be eligible for “Cover Cat,” “Cat of the Month,” or other full-page photos - we will contact you to request an alternate photo if the one you submit doesn't work
No dogs or other animal photos permitted unless included WITH the cat in the photo
Please, no political statements in your pictures
Winners will be chosen by popular vote. The top 15 entries will be awarded as monthly calendar pages, inside cover and back page. The overall winner will be selected for the calendar cover.
ALL PHOTOS SUBMITTED WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE CALENDAR in a date block or collage page, even if not chosen as one of the top 15 photos
By submitting your photo, you agree to allow Nine Lives Foundation to use your image in the 2025 calendar and in any promotional materials, on all Nine Lives Foundation platforms (website, social media, emails), and in any other print format which may be connected to the 2025 Photo Calendar Contest or future Nine Lives Foundation promotions.
