Here are this year’s categories: Dogs Alone Action, Dogs Alone Pose, Dogs Alone Scene, Dogs and People Action, Dogs and People Pose and Dogs and People Scene.
Here are the basic rules: We will only accept TWO SUBMISSIONS TOTAL from each person. No cheating! No sending two photos of Bowser, then having your boyfriend send two more! Since we get a million photos for this contest, we’re serious this time! Anyone sending in more than two shots of Rover will have their photos forwarded to Cat Fancy Magazine for inclusion in their annual Pretty Kitty Cat Photo Issue.
Next: Please submit regular jpegs to us at this point. If your entry makes the first cut, we’ll ask you to submit to us a higher-rez photo.
Next: Only new photos, please. Do not send us the same photos you sent us last year. If this is a problem, you obviously need to take Hercules and your camera out into the woods!
Next: Though we will be scrambling to come up with prizes for winners and honorable mentions, you need to go into this with the understanding that you will not be remunerated if we run your photos of Miss Suzie bounding down Mount Massive. Your compensation will take the form of seeing Bootsie’s mug in print.
Last: Drop-dead deadline was December 21, 2009. Don’t even think of trying to lay a sob story on us about how the dog at your photo. We won’t believe you! Not this time! We’re not the suckers we seem to be. Unless, of course, you bribe us with beer. Then, we’re putty in your hands.
