  • WHAT IF ONLY 10 OR 15 PETS ENTER THE CONTEST?

    Each month’s Contest requires that a minimum of 50 Active Contestants be entered into the Contest. In the event that 50 active, participating Contestants do not enter said Contest for that month, then that Contest and the Votes received for each Contestant, shall be rolled over to the following month and we shall not Award any prizes for that non-qualifying Contest month. 

  • WHAT IS CONSIDERED AN ACTIVE PARTICIPATING CONTESTANT?
    An active, participating Contestant shall be defined as a Contestant who has received an average of 1 Vote per day for that Contest Month, by the end of that Contest month. We feel that a Contestant would be excited to vote for their own pet on a daily basis when they’re trying to win first place. Otherwise, why enter? If a Contestant does not vote for their own Pet or ask their friends to Vote, then clearly they are not actively participating in our Contest, as we view it. And as a result, we cannot count them towards the required minimum of 50 active Contestants. 

  • ARE THERE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON THE TYPE OF ANIMALS OR PETS?
    No. As long as you can pet it and it’s a domestic animal, you can enter it in the contest.
  • HOW MANY TIMES CAN I ENTER?
    Each pet owner can register each of their pets once per month.  Pet owners can enter multiple pets, but they can only enter each pet once per month.  In other words each pet can only have one active contest page at a time.  As once a contest ends, another begins each month and the votes are reset to zero on the 1st day of each month. Upon winning 1st Place in any of the monthly contests, that user will be eligible to enter the Cutest Photo of The Year contest, however, shall not be eligible to enter any further monthly contests for that calendar year. Runner-up contestants can continue competing each month until they win 1st Place in any of the monthly contests. At the end of each and any month that a Contestant appears in the directory of contestants, but does not have any votes, that Contestant shall be defined as “Non-Active” and shall not count towards our minimum 50 Contestant threshold, which is required for any Contest month to be determined as a Qualified contest.
