Get ready to strike a pose for St. Clair County Animal Welfare Advocates (SCCAWA) Calendar Contest! You've always known your pet belonged on the cover and now you can make dreams come true.

Enter your pet in the 2019 SCCAWA Calendar Contest and lead the way in SAVING LIVES. By participating in the Calendar Contest, YOU are providing hope, help and homes for homeless animals in need!

Enter your cat, dog, ferret, rabbit—any animal—(no humans please) in our Calendar Contest! It's easy to do and ALL proceeds go to help the homeless animals at St. Clair County Animal Control.

Upload photos directly to photo contest site, and participants donate for votes where $1 = 1 vote. SCCAWA is a designated 501(c)(3) charity, making all donations toward voting in the contest tax deductible.

There is a $5, tax-deductible entry fee.


The top 12 WINNING PHOTOS will be FEATURED IN the 2019 CALENDAR with the overall winner featured on the COVER. Every entry that raises at least $50 will appear as an honorable mention. Online voting makes this international so make sure all your friends and family, near and far, join in the fun! In addition, if you know of a business that would like to purchase an ad in the calendar, those donations will be added to your pet's total! (see below for advertising prices)

The top pet will win the cover AND their photo on their choice of month inside the calendar. The other top eleven pets will be featured on a separate month in the 2019 Calendar. Absolute Beginner Photography will take the featured picture of each of the top contestants to use in the calendar. Winners must be within the St. Louis Bi-State area in order to have their pet photographed by Absolute Beginner Photography.

Pet photo submissions begin Apr 1, 2018 and end April 21, 2018. Voting will begin on April 22, 2018 at 9am end on May 15, 2018 at 9pm. For more information, visit us online at www.sccawa.com or contact Sheila Ford 609-320-8659, or advocates@sccawa.com.

• When asking for donations, make sure to ask if people work somewhere that has an employee matching gift program. Many businesses offer a matching gift for an employee's charitable gift that will help to multiply and add to your overall amount.
• Offline gifts can also be added to your fundraising page, in which you would collect cash and checks (made payable to SCCAWA) and enter the info onto your personal site. Once the donation is received at SCCAWA, the status will change to "confirmed" on your page. If you have any questions, email advocates@sccawa.com
• Have fun and be creative! For a fun way to get your friends involved, hold a $5 Friday. Ask your friends, coworkers, and family to donate $5 on a Friday. Get 10 friends to donate and you have quickly raised $50! Ask another 10 the next Friday and you have reached $100.
• And finally, enjoy your Calendar Contest participation and know every dollar YOU raise is helping an animal in need!!!
