chocolate lab running through liberty state park Youreck - our April Dog Photo Contest Winner

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 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, or is of a low quality, 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.

The winner of the May 2011 dog photo contest will be announced at the end of the month and the winning entry will have pride of place on the Welcome Page until the following month.

The photo will be chosen by my husband and myself, although we encourage you to make comments on photos you like.

Comments
If a photo brings you joy, please tell that person by making a comment. Pass on your smile - it really means a lot to people to know that you like their dog!



Entered your dog photo but can't see it yet?
Have you entered a photo but can't see it?

Please leave around 48 hours before panicking! Every submission is done manually by myself so there may be a slight delay.

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.

Have you entered your dog's breed in the title or text? If not, this may be why I have not uploaded your submission.

Your photo may be too dark or the quality may not be good enough.

Finally you may have already sent in a photo of your dog that month. We have a one dog per month rule to limit the number of entries received.

Hope this helps!

Thank You - Hilary Burt, Editor

Enter your dog for May 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.


Maybe tell us why you love this photo.


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 describe the main photo in about 10 words or less.

eg. "Black Lab running after red ball"

Enter the breed and briefly what your dog is doing. Use 10 words or less. If sending in a Lab Pic please distinguish between Black and Chocolate Labs; also put whether your dog is a puppy.
eg. Black Lab Puppy With Red Collar Sitting In Car.

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 [ ? ]
