Photo Contest

For rescue pets & IMOM PIN kids (past or present)

The rules

Submitted photos must be high-resolution, full-size (not edited or cropped). The photographs should be a minimum of 300 dpi, or 2400 x 3000 pixels (landscape) in JPEG (JPG) format for printing high-quality 8x10 images for the calendar. A six megapixel camera on its highest
resolution setting should provide an excellent-quality digital
photograph. If your digital camera has a separate quality setting, it should be set for the higher quality photographs.

PLEASE NOTE: If the photo you submit does not adhere to the required specifications (full-size original photo for printing at 8"x10" size, minimum of 300 dpi, or 2400x3000 pixels, in JPEG format), then your pet's photo and bio will not appear on our calendar, even if you are one of the 12 winners. The entry for the next runner-up will be used
on the calendar instead of your entry.
Color photo is preferred
No humans in photo, or photo will be rejected

All entries must be submitted not later than midnight September 28th. Entries received after midnight September 28th will not qualify. All times are Eastern.

You may enter a Bridge Pet.
IMOM PIN kids may be entered in the contest.
Caretakers of present IMOM PIN kids are not permitted to vote in this contest.
You may enter as many as 3 pets. However, IMOM discourages that because your pets will be competing against each other for votes and placement in our calendar.
