“My Spring Adventure”

Spring is upawn us and the weather couldn’t be better for a Spring adventure! It’s been a while since our last contest, so we apologize for the delay and we promise this one will be a treat and some! For the contest, you may want to visit our Events  or Pawks page for contest ideas and locations!

The Prize

First, let’s talk about what’s on all of our minds—the prize! This month’s contest prize is a special one, because it’s benefiting a cause that’s close to all our hearts. Animal Haven Shelter  is a no-kill animal shelter, adoption center and sanctuary dedicated to placing cats and dogs in loving homes, as well as give lifetime care for those who cannot be placed. We’ve partnered with them to offer you gifts from their unique boutique style shelter located in SoHo, New York. All proceeds and purchases from Animal Haven Shelter will go directly to benefiting and caring for the unfortunate pets that haven’t been adopted yet. The prize includes an assortment of cool items that’ll be useful for your cat or dog.

 
Contest Rules + Regulations

This month’s contest will be a little different from what we’ve done in the past. Not only will you be taking pictures of your adored pets, but you’ll have to write a little story to go along with the picture. Spring is the season to be outside and here at PetPop.com we want to promote it with this month’s contest. The rules are outlined below:

To enter the contest members will have to submit an outdoor picture, whether it’s in your backyard, front lawn or park, as long as it’s outside it will qualify. The picture will have to be approved by our moderators before it gets posted on the contest page. Typically, the photos will be approved within 24 hours of submission. Along with the outdoor picture, moderators will be looking for a little story attached with the photo. The “story” will be entirely up to you guys, you can get creative here and really describe what’s going on in the picture or have members use their imagination. The story must be 50-100 words, so we expect a little something, but nothing too serious. To help you better understand the contest, I’ve wrote a little story myself, check me out:

"As I sit here and wait for my Mommy to push me on my swingy. I wait patiently for her, but she is busy talking to her friends. I hope she didn’t forget about me here, because the sun is setting and I want my chance to fly in the sky. I’ve been waiting for this all day and I don’t think she knows how much it means to me. Or maybe if I were EVEN smaller, a gust of wind could do the pushing for me!"

Voting

Once again, the voting is up to you guys, but you’ll have to put in a little more effort, since you’ll have to judge our members’ photos and creative stories! Good luck and happy voting everyone!

The contest will end on June 12th, 2008.
