Graying Muzzles Calendar & Photo Contest

Wanted: Beautiful old gals and handsome old guys for Graying Muzzles 2019, our 16th annual calendar celebrating old dogs.

The contest is now open! So start planning those great shots now, and make your old dog a super star. Enter as many photos as you wish and as often as you wish.

HOW TO ENTER:

Select your photo(s): High-resolution digital images are preferred; 4”x6” or larger photos printed on high quality photo paper are also accepted.

Complete the entry form: Include a brief biography of your dog or a story that shows his personality. And tell us the one greatest thing about your senior dog.

Submit your entry: To e-mail your entry, send your digital image, bio/story, and entry form to gm19@sanctuaryforseniordogs.org. Mail your $10 entry fee with a copy of your entry form to the Sanctuary. We cannot accept online entry fees since they violate PayPal’s terms of service. To mail your entry, send your photograph, the entry form, bio/story, and $10 entry fee to the Sanctuary.

THE FINE PRINT:

The contest accepts photos of all senior dogs (7 years and older at the time of the photo), including those who have already crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

Please include only senior dogs in your photos; we cannot accept photos that include people or younger dogs.

All entries must be signed and submitted by the legal owner of the dog and the photograph. Professional photos are acceptable if you have purchased the rights to the photo. No credit will be given to the photographer.

You may enter as many times as you like, but a $10 entry fee and a separate entry form must accompany each entry.

E-mail or postmark your entries by September 5, 2018.

Photos will be judged by an impartial panel; the decision of the judges is final. Photos will not be returned and may be used to promote the Sanctuary and its programs.

Winners will be posted on our website after October 1, 2018.
