Suncoast Humane Society Photo Contest for 2026 Pet Calendar

Fees/Admission

• One (1) vote equals a $1 donation.
• All donations from the voting are non-refundable. Entries and donations must be made via the online contest page. Contest payments online are through a secure site.
• All winners will be determined by electronic vote tabulation under the supervision of GOGO Photo Contest, whose decisions are final and binding.
• The voting period starts on June 23rd and ends on August 1st.
• The email acknowledgement of your online donation to Suncoast Humane Society serves as your tax receipt. Please save it for your records.
   

• Each entry fee is a $15 donation to the Suncoast Humane Society.
• Limit of as many pets that live in the same household per photo entry. People are not allowed in photos, only your pet(s). Please keep the photos focused on pets, and avoid any political, religious, or controversial statements in your images. Photos that do not follow these rules may be disqualified.
• Entry photos that include two or more pets will share a month if they place among the top thirteen vote getters.
• Posting more than one photo of your pet does not increase the chances of winning.
• If you would like to have a picture included in the calendar in memory of your pet(s) or to celebrate their birthday (or any other day of significance e.g. adoption day), you can enter his/her image under the “Reserve a Day to Honor your Pet” option. Selected days are on a “first come, first served” basis!
• We cannot accept printed photos. We cannot accept any copyrighted or professional photos without permission from the photographer.
• The submissions period begins at 9:00:00 AM (Eastern Time) on Monday, June 23, 2025 and ends at 5:00:00 PM (Eastern Time) on Friday, August 1, 2025.
• If you do not see your photo on the voting page within 48 hours of submitting it, please contact Sandrina McCloud at smccloud@humane.org
• Any photograph that includes content that is deemed inappropriate, indecent, or obscene, as determined by the Suncoast Humane Society in its sole discretion, will not be entered into the contest. Posting more than one photo of your pet does not increase the chances of winning. The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entries that receive the most votes. The same pet can only win once. Attempts to win two spots in the calendar by the same pet will not be permitted. 
• The top entry with the most votes will have their pet picture on the front cover of all our printed calendars; the other 12 winners will each have their picture on 1 of the 12 months.
• The top 3 of the 12 winners (not including the top winner on the front cover) will be able to select the month they want to have their pet’s picture on a first come, first serve basis. 
   

• By submitting a photo entry, you warrant and represent that your entry is your own original work created by you and that you own or otherwise control all the rights to your entry materials. If you use a professional photo, make sure you have permission from the photographer to use the photo in the contest. If you submit an entry that is copyrighted by another individual without permission, you are responsible for any legal action the copyright holder takes against you.
• Calendars will be available to the public at the end of October 2025 or beginning of November 2025.
