The GHS 2023 Calendar Contest is an exciting way to celebrate your pet while helping the animals in our community who are eagerly waiting for a home of their own.
To participate, you can submit your own pet(s) into the contest, or simply vote for others! The top 12 pets with the most votes win a photoshoot with Laura Wombwell Photography, a spot in the GHS 2023 Calendar, and of course a copy of the calendar!
*Each submission “fee” is $20 each. This is eligible for a tax receipt 20 votes towards the pet submitted. Any additional “vote” donations over $20 will also be eligible for a tax receipt.
*It might not seem like a $1 vote will go very far, but a dollar can do a lot for the animals of our community, so encourage your friends and family to vote for your photos and you could win a prize. Plus, the more votes you get the more you and the animals win!
*Votes are $1 each. $20 will count for 20 Votes and $50 will count for 50 Votes, etc. The more votes you give not only help our animals at the GHS, but it also increases your chance to win a spot in the 2023 GHS Calendar.
