Make Your Pet a Star in the 2026 Cleveland APL Pet Calendar!
Enter by Sunday, July 20, 2025
The entry fee is $35.00 per picture and your pet's picture is guaranteed to be included on the pages of the Cleveland APL's 2026 calendar. Your entry fee also includes a copy of our full-color calendar, which will be mailed to you in November 2025.
Once you submit your registration form, be sure to email your pet’s photo as an attachment to amiller@clevelandapl.org.
The Rules:
1. Photos must be of pets only - no people (or parts of people), please!
2. You may submit your horizontally-formatted photo(s) electronically by emailing amiller@clevelandapl.org or by mailing a 4x6 horizontally-formatted photograph to our regular mailing address: ATTN: 2026 Calendar Contest, 1729 Willey Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44113.
3. Digital photos are preferred. For digital photos, please provide sharp images (highest resolution) that are 300 dpi at a 5x7 format or larger. Digital photos must be at least 3,000 pixels horizontal. Cell phone photos are accepted if saved at the highest resolution possible. Please name the digital files by the pet’s first and last name, i.e. “Fido Jones.jpg." In order to be eligible to win a month, your photo entry must be high resolution*.
4. Photos with text or with social media filters or frames will not be accepted. Polaroid or copyrighted professional photographs are not acceptable and we cannot return photographs.
5. All entries will be blind-judged by the Cleveland APL's panel of local celebrities and the top 11 will be featured as "Pets of the Month." All entries must be postmarked by Sunday, July 20, 2025 and will be included in the 2026 calendar. Those chosen for "Pet of the Month" will be notified by email.
Contact Abby Miller, Events Manager, at amiller@clevelandapl.org with any questions.
*Photos that are not eligible to win a month will still be included in the calendar either as a smaller photo on a month page or in a collage at the beginning or end of the calendar.
