What kind of photo should I submit?
Dogs only (no humans), no watermarks or text, one animal per entry, and please submit a clear, cute photo of your dog, because “Bigfoot sighting” energy might not get you the votes to win.
How can I check if I'm in the lead?
Photogogo is hosting the whole contest and results are shown live, so you can check the leaderboard HERE anytime during the contest.
How do voting and winners work?
Voting determines the winners. The top 13 top-voted entrants will win and be featured in the calendar on a selected month (the top 3 get to choose which month they are featured in).
There will be 13 Cameo winners for the next 13 placed pets and their entry photo will be featured randomly in a month with 2 empty grid spaces (the empty spaces before or after the dates).
Participants are encouraged to invite friends, family, and followers to purchase votes at $1 per vote, with a minimum $5 purchase.
Can I enter more than one pet?
You bet you can, but each pet has to be entered separately.
My pet has passed away. May I still enter them?
Yes, absolutely.
However, due to the nature of the calendar photo sessions, pets who have passed cannot be included as one of the top 13 winners, since the calendar images require an in-person session.
That said, they are very welcome to be included through:
Because print quality is essential, we recommend entering only if you can guarantee your photo meets the image requirements. If a winning-quality file cannot be provided, the runner-up may be given the spot.
If you’d like your photo reviewed before entering, please email: info@aubripoon.com
Do I have to live in Alberta?
Yes!
As an Alberta based rescue and a Calgary based photographer. Plus, winners must be able to attend one of the three winning photo sessions in Calgary or Red Deer.
When does voting end?
March 21, 2026. at 9pm MST.
What does it cost to enter and vote?
There is a $10 entry fee per pet and each vote is $1 with a minimum of $5 purchase.
All entry fees, vote, and a portion of beer purchases go directly to ARTS Senior Rescue to build provide much needed medical care for our elder canine buddies.
