Gather your favorite photos of your Neuse River Golden Retriever Rescue dogs and they could be featured in our 2025 calendar!  Photo submissions will be accepted from May 24th through June 29th.  The entry fee is $10 per photo and there is no limit to the number of photos you may submit.  Please follow the submission guidelines on the rules page closely to ensure your photos are eligible for selection in the voting contest.

A selection committee will determine the top photos to advance to the voting phase of the contest.  The committee will do their best to select one photo per participant (including immediate family) for the voting contest, however the photo must meet the quality guidelines listed on the rules page to be considered.

Voting for the 2025 NRGRR Calendar Contest will run July 1 thru July 31, 2024.  Each vote in the photo contest costs $1.  You are encouraged to use the social media links below your photo to promote your photo with your friends and family to solicit as many votes as possible.

The winner of the photo with the most votes at the end of voting phase will pick the month they would like to have the dog featured as well as receive a special gift.  The next 11 photos with the most votes will each receive a monthly spread.  The remaining photos will be featured with thumbnails throughout the calendar.  

2025 NRGRR Calendars will be made available for sale in mid-October.

All proceeds directly support our rescue program.
