We’ve extended our deadline for the calendar contest! You can enter your dog(s) stories and photos up to August 29 at 12 midnight EDT. You can vote up to September 7th, 2014, 12 midnight EDT.
Submissions and voting started June 10th, 2014, but there’s still plenty of time for you to participate.
By entering the contest to honor your canine cancer hero, you also help promote awareness of canine cancer and raise funds for cancer research to benefit both pets and people.
Join us for an exciting contest to determine who wins one of 13 prominent places on the 2015 calendar.
Who Can Enter? Anyone with a dog who currently has or has had cancer (living or passed) can enter, including dogs who have entered in previous 2 Million Dogs’ calendar contests.
To start your page, click here. But keep reading below for complete information …
How Does It Work? Register your dog as a participant in the contest. You create and edit your home page by uploading your dog’s story and photo and tell how they came to be touched by cancer. Upload your best high resolution digital photo. Please be prepared to submit a high resolution digital photo of the same image (minimum of 500kb, please) upon request. 1MB resolution or greater is ideal for reproduction in the calendar.
Voting Begins As Soon As You Enter! Your $10 registration fee applies as 10 votes for your dog. (Votes are $1.00 each, with a minimum donation of $5.00.)
Share your page on your favorite social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, and encourage your family and friends to go to your page and vote for your dog!
If you want to enter more than 1 dog, there will be a separate registration fee for each, and you will create a separate page for each dog.
The 13 pets with the highest number of votes win. Winners will choose which month they want their photos and stories on.
Along with their photos, the 13 winners will also have their stories published in the calendar as well. Please be sure to include their story on your dog’s page. This will help show their personality and increase votes for their photo!
Immortalize your canine cancer hero. Your dog’s photo and story will provide inspiration for an entire month in the 2 Million Dogs’ 2015 Calendar.
And ALL of the photo entries will be included in our 2015 Calendar Photo Gallery. No dog will be left out!
We’re looking forward to all this year’s entries, and, through your participation, funding vital canine cancer research. But we can’t do it without your help. So, come join the fun, enter your dog, vote for your favorites, and help make a difference.
To begin, click here and follow the directions. Please be sure to write down and remember your user name and password! You will need both to access your personal page to include updates, email family and friends, and determine your own personal monetary goal.
For questions about the contest or technical issues with your photographs, please contact Erich Trapp at erich@puppyup.org.
Where Do My Voting Dollars Go?
Your voting dollars go to fund cutting-edge research in comparative oncology, that branch of research that benefits both companion animals and humans in our fight against cancer.
What makes the 2 Million Dogs Calendar so special?
One of 2 Million Dogs’ steadfast goals has always been education about canine cancer and comparative oncology. And one of the best ways we can do this is through your stories and photos, which genuinely inspire and encourage so many others.
But what makes our calendars unique?
Not only do the winners pick their special months, but every dog entered has his or her photo in the calendar. No one gets left behind. We have a whole section of gallery photos dedicated to all of the dogs entered that year. We also include all 13 of last year’s winners, and our calendar includes not only the regular ‘people’ holidays but dozens of special dog holidays like: National Puppy Day, Pet Theft Awareness Day, Take Your Dog to Work Day, World Animal Remembrance Month, Pet Cancer Awareness Month, etc.
Our calendars are truly unique and one-of-a-kind keepsakes.
