Oregon Humane Society Photo Contest Now Open

Portland, OR. If you love to take cute photos of your pets, this contest is for you. Your images can save help shelter pets and you might win a prize, including a two-night stay at the beach. Beauty comes in all species, so there are three categories: Top Dog, Top Cat and Top Other Pet. A fourth category—OHS Choice—will be selected by OHS staff from all photos submitted.

Top Dog?

Here’s a photo of Gepman, a 18-year-young cat who always has his purr motor running.

Here are the details:

What – OHS Photo Contest

When – Submit your photos through Aug. 15

Where – Submit photos online – https://www.gogophotocontest.com/oregonhumanesociety

Details – Create an account, upload your photos and then the public votes for their favorites. Hint – it’s easy to get more votes by sharing a link to your photos on social media.

One of the winning photos will be on the cover of the OHS magazine. All winners and runners-ups will be featured in a magazine feature story.

This is the OHS Staff pick winner from 2017. Callie Attanasio was the winning photographer.

The winning photographers in each category will receive a professionally printed and framed photograph of their entry and a $200 gift card from Frame Central. Plus, each winner gets a special gift basket of pet treats and toys donated by local businesses. The grand prize winner, with the most overall votes, will receive a two-night stay at the Hallmark Inns on the Oregon coast.

There is a $10 fee to enter and $5 fee for five votes. All entry and voting fees go directly to help the animals at OHS. Our goal is to raise $15,000 to help create “picture-perfect” happy endings for shelter pets.

The deadline for submitting photos and voting is 11 p.m. Aug. 15, 2018.
