Rules

The Superior Chamber "Treats Not Tricks" Halloween Pet Photo Contest is open to anyone 21-years-old or older, living in Broomfield, Boulder or Denver Counties, who would like to enter their dog, cat, or other pet-like creature to compete.

Submit a photo of your pet in one of our three categories: solo pet, multiple pets, and pets and their people. Provide one sentence describing your pet's costume or Halloween "look," if you like. Photos should be digital and sharp enough to look good on the internet. Focus and good lighting will increase your photo's appeal.

There is a $5 fee to post your pic in the contest, and you automatically receive 5 votes when you enter! The $5 posting fee applies to each picture you enter.

Pet owners are encouraged to have their friends, relatives, and co-workers go to the contest website and vote for their pet. Voting ends on on Thursday, October 29, 2020, at 11:59pm, MT.

Votes cost $1.00 each with no maximum on how many votes a person can buy. For example, you can give 100 votes to your favorite pet by donating $100 in a single transaction via the website and come back to the site as many times as you want and donate votes as often as you'd like.

Pet owners can certainly buy votes and grant them to their own pets, as well.

A portion of the proceeds from the fundraiser will be awarded to the Brighter Days Pet Rescue to support their work helping find pets their forever homes.


The Superior Chamber "Treats Not Tricks" Halloween Pet Photo Contest will officially launch Thursday, October 1, 2020, and end on Thursday, October 29, 2020, at 11:59pm, MT.

Winners will be announced on Friday, October 30, 2020.


Prizes will be awarded to the top vote-getting pet in each of our three categories. In the event of a tie, the photograph that was entered first will be considered a higher rank.

Each of the three winners will receive the following prize package:

2020 Prize Package

All entries will be made on-line by visiting the contest website and following the directions for entering pets in the contest and voting. Contest payments online are through a secure site and are non-refundable.

There is a $5 fee to enter your dog, which automatically gives your dog 5 votes. Additional votes cost $1 per vote and can be made in any number throughout the run of the contest.

We encourage you to share your contest page link with family and friends through email and social media encouraging them to vote for your favorite contestant's photo.

All donations for votes are non-refundable and not tax deductible (there was a vote in exchange for the donation). Entries and donations must be made via the online contest page. Donations and photo entries for this online contest that are submitted via other means (US mail, in-person or by other means) will be accepted as donations but not applied toward the contest.


This fundraiser is being conducted by the Superior Chamber of Commerce. Our partners include: Dixon Orthodontics and ELD Photography.


The Superior Chamber of Commerce will attempt to notify the top three vote-getters via telephone or email during the week of November 2, 2020. If the winner cannot be contacted within seven (7) days after the date of the first attempt and after multiple attempts thereafter, the Sponsor may select an alternate winner from the next highest vote-getter.
