The Michigan Humane Society’s 3rd annual Online Pet Photo Contest is a fun and upbeat way to show off your furry family member to loved ones worldwide - all while changing the lives of homeless animals in our community.

There are two ways to participate in the MHS Online Pet Photo Contest:

1. Create a web page featuring your pet’s photo, and campaign for him or her to be named MHS’ “Pet of the Year.”
2. Support a friend or family member’s campaign by donating online.
3. Share information about the contest on Facebook, Twitter and more. You can click the "Share" button on the upper-right of every page to post the page link to all of your favorite social network accounts and even send the link through email.

All votes placed — and all dollars raised — will help MHS change the lives of animals in need. The Michigan Humane Society receives no government funding, is not a United Way agency, and is not affiliated with any national humane organizations. Yet each year, MHS provides care for more than 100,000 animals in our communities through programs including animal sheltering and adoption, veterinary care, cruelty investigation, legislative advocacy, humane education and much more. But we can’t do it without you!

Contest Guidelines:
		To submit your pet’s photo, a minimum $20 donation is required to enter the contest. The entry fee will be included in the overall funds donated to your campaign.
		Each dollar donated to a pet’s campaign represents one vote. The pet with the most votes will be named MHS’ Pet of the Year, and revealed online on Friday, March 2. All donations are tax-deductible by law.
		All photos and votes must be submitted by noon on Wednesday, February 29.

Winners:
The top three pets to receive the most votes will receive the following:
		Winner: The pet with the most money raised will be named MHS’ Pet of the Year. In addition, they will have their photo prominently featured on the Michigan Humane Society's website; they will receive a special “pet of the month” placement in the MHS 2013 Pet Calendar; two tickets to MHS’ 2012 Bow Wow Brunch (April); and will receive an MHS Prize Pack!
		1st Runner-Up: The pet with the second highest number of votes will receive an MHS Prize Pack.
		2nd Runner-Up: The pet with the third highest number of votes will receive a Prize Pack.
	Additionally, all pets whose campaign raised at least $312 will have their photo featured online in the “2012 MHS Honor Roll” and receive a free MHS T-shirt!

Photo Submissions:
		Photos may contain only one pet, and should not contain people.
		Photos of dogs and cats wearing collars and ID tags are encouraged, as well as submissions of cats photographed indoors.
		One person may submit as many campaigns as they wish. However, please remember that if friends or family members are encouraged to spread out their votes over multiple campaigns, chances of one pet winning the “Pet of the Year” may be reduced.
		Any inappropriate images submitted will be removed at the discretion of the Michigan Humane Society, with no opportunity for a refund.
