Get your pet's picture on a calendar and help the Cleveland APL

Don't miss the chance for your pet to be featured in the inaugural 2009 Cleveland Animal Protective League's Pet Calendar honoring our area's much-loved and entirely way-too-cute animal companions! All you have to do is take some photos of your pet, select your favorite, and submit it to the Cleveland APL’s, “Make Your Furry Friend a Star Calendar Contest,” along with a registration form (available at www.clevelandapl.org) and $25 entry fee. A panel of our local celebrity friends will judge the entries and select 12 pictures that will be featured as “Pet of the Month.” Even if not selected for “Pet of the Month,” your pet’s picture is guaranteed to be included on the pages of the 2009 Cleveland APL Pets Calendar AND you will receive a copy of our calendar in October 2008. All of the proceeds from this unique opportunity to feature your animal pal will benefit the programs and services of the Cleveland APL! You won’t only be helping a homeless animal who’s waiting for a new best friend like you; you’ll also be making your pet a star! The RulesPhotos must be of pets only—no people, please!You may complete the registration and payment form online and then submit your photo(s) electronically via email to Contact@ClevelandAPL.org with “Furry Friend” in the subject line, with your name and contact information in the body of the email OR by mailing a color 4x6 horizontally-formatted photograph to our regular mailing address, ATTN: “Furry Friend,” with your registration form and payment.We cannot accept Polaroid photos or copyrighted professional photographs, and we cannot return the photographs.Do not stamp or write on the back of the photo.For digital photos, provide sharp images that are 300 dpi or larger and in JPEG (JPG) or TIFF format.

I think I'll submit this picture of my Duffy for the calendar. It was taken by our own Rick Majors who is a fabulous photographer!
