It's the most wonderful time of the year —
Pet Photo Contest
Every year, hundreds of customers compete for a chance to have their hairy, scaly, furry and feathery friends featured in our promotional calendar. Oh, and win some free printing to boot.
Here's the full rundown:
Prizes:
- 1st Place:
- Runners Up:
• Cover + Month Photo Placement

This year, we're more than doubling the top prize!
• Photo Month Placement

All winners will also receive a printed calendar — just make sure to enter your mailing address when uploading your photo.
Photo Requirements:
- Image Resolution: Photos should have a resolution of at least 300 pixels per inch (PPI) at the print size of 8.5x11. Landscape-oriented photos are preferred for the calendar layout but not necessary.
- Domestic Animals Only No wildlife, zoo or livestock shots. This is for pets, helpers, and farm animals who are not raised for food.
- Hard Deadline: 11/10/2025 We need time for our team to vote on the winners and to design and print the calendars in time for the new year.
(Check out the winners from last year below to see how we handle portrait-oriented photos)
Even the cutest photos will be rejected if the resolution isn't high enough for a high-quality print.
