contest winners

Everyone who enters will get their own page on this website for friends, family and visitors to comment on their photo. So tell everyone you've entered!

If your photo is chosen, it will be on our Welcome Page for one month greeting all our visitors :)

More than one photo
You can submit up to 4 photos in one go - all of the same dog please. These will all be displayed on your dedicated page.

Please note that only the first (top) photo will be considered by the judges.

In any one month you can make more than one submission but not of the same dog.

All photos should be without borders or special effects.

Natural shots
We would also like to encourage natural photos rather than pictures taken in the studio; and the photo must be taken by you or a friend/family member whose permission you have to use the photo.

What we're looking for
You may send in any photo of your dog although we prefer dogs in their natural state ie. without dresses and bekinis etc!

To be chosen for the Welcome Page, the photo will probably be a natural shot, clearly showing the body or face of the dog. This particular photo will be representing our website around the world and be the first thing many people see when they visit us.

For that reason we will veer towards "out and about" shots. There may be exceptions for an exceptional photo! Click here for the photos we've chosen since the contest began.

If we feel a particular photo is not suitable, I'm afraid it will not go live.

Every photograph and comment is checked by myself. There may therefore be a delay of up to 24 hours before photos/comments appear on the site.

We shall announce the winner of the January 2011 dog photo contest at the end of the month and the winning entry will have pride of place on the Welcome Page until the following month.

We may link your photo to our Gallery of Dog Breeds. This is where breeds of the same kind have been brought together on the same page for visitors to enjoy.

If you own one of the hybrid dogs (Sprocker/Puggle/Sproodle etc) and the photo clearly shows what the breed look like, I shall also be putting a smaller photo of your entry on the Hybrid Dogs page.

Judging
Judging is done by myself (Hilary), my husband and sometimes a guest judge. If you would like to help with the judging please contact me. We're looking for people who are genuinely interested in all the entries and are willing to make positive comments on every photo that comes in. This is a big job so please make sure you have enough time to commit to it! Photos come in most days and we currently have around 60 submissions a month.

This month's Guest Judge
This month's guest judge is Julie Rowe. She writes, "This is Doug who is 5 years old.

He is a Labrador Retriever and his kennel club name is Lohi Wright as he was born on Bonfire Night (November 5th) and so named after one of the gunpowder plotters.

Doug is very intelligent and he is very protective to me and my daughters. He loves his kong and his toys."



Have you entered a photo but can't see it?

Please leave around 24 hours before panicking! Every submission is done manually by myself so there may be a slight delay.

If 48 hours have passed, check your mail and spam folder. If you entered your email address when you submitted your photo, I will write to you if your photo has not come through.

Basically your photo might have been too big - 400 x 300 pixels is a good size for your photo or 300 x 400 if it's portrait.

There may be a gap in the photo name on your computer. Close any gaps or put a hyphen between words, eg. georgie-garden.

Now have another go and hopefully it'll come through this time!

Thank You - Hilary Burt, Editor

Enter your dog for January 2011

Just send us a favourite photo of your dog. It could be a picture taken on the beach, in the woods, or simply chilling out at home.


We are all dog lovers here so write something about the photo or about your dog in general.


You could tell us how you came to be together or what special things your dog likes to do.


Perhaps you could write about the dog's temperament, whether the breed sheds a lot, if it is good with children, and so on.


And remember - every entry will have its own page - a dedicated page just for your dog!


We'd prefer as natural a photo as possible ie. no dresses or bikinis on the dogs!


The title

The title is very important. This is how your photo is found on the web.

Always put the breed in the title, and use a few words to describe the photo.
eg. "Yorkshire Terrier Puppy Sleeping".


Don't worry, if you're not sure, I'll do it - or change it!

Enter a title - see above. If sending in a Lab Pic please distinguish between Black and Chocolate Labs; and also put whether your dog is a puppy.
eg. Black Lab Puppy Photo - Pickles.

Tell us about your dog or even the story behind the picture. Please try and write at least a few sentences - more if possible! [ ? ]

Upload Picture - only main photo will be judged - all photos must be of the same dog [ ? ]
