Grand Prizes:
- The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entrants that receive the most votes through the 5-week voting period.
- All 13 winners will receive a professional photo session by Whimsical Paws Photography for their photo that will appear in the 2025 calendar.
- The 1st place winner will be featured as the cover model!
- 2nd - 13th place winners will be featured as a pet of the month inside the calendar.
- All winners will have the opportunity to purchase products and images following their session, if desired.
*If your pet is one of the 13 to be photographed for the calendar, you must be able to bring your pet to a professional photo session with Whimsical Paws Photography at a pre-selected location within Craven or Carteret County during the summer of 2024. If you are unable to commit to a photo session during that time or find yourself unable to travel to these pre-selected locations, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar, no exceptions.
Weekly Mini-Contest Prizes:
One pet each week who receives the highest number of new votes for a particular week will win a mini contest prize from one of the participating businesses. In the event of a tie for that week's most votes or if there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized drawing will be held for all eligible pets.
