Make Your Pet a Star in the 2018 Pet Calendar Contest

Is your pet dog, cat or rabbit ready for their close-up? The Irvine Animal Care Center is seeking entries for its 2018 Make Your Pet a Star Calendar Contest. Every photo received will be featured in the 2018 calendar, and each entrant will receive a free calendar.

To participate, take and submit a photo of your pet by Aug. 31. Entry forms are at cityofirvine.org/petcalendar. All photos must be horizontal, in color, and contain pets only (no people, please). Professional photographs are not permitted. Your pet’s photo could also be one of the 13 images chosen by Center staff and volunteers as a full-page “Pet of the Month.”

Fee is $25 per photo or $100 for five photos, and all photos that meet entry guidelines will be included in the calendar. All proceeds go toward shelter and care for animals at the Center, which offers services including licensing for Irvine residents, pet adoptions and events. Complete rules and details are available at cityofirvine.org/petcalendar or by calling 949-724-7740.
