Show off your pet’s photo and win prizes!

Luna the Fashion Kitty is fabulous. (thefashionkitty.com)

Do you have a dog-about-town who holds his head high and greets everyone he meets as he saunters through the Village? How about a particularly sassy cat who does things on her own terms? If your pet has a personality – and they ALL do! – show him or her off by entering the SewickleyPatch.com Pet Photo Contest!

Upload your pet’s best photo to the Sewickley Patch website for a chance to win a $15 Explore Sewickley gift card, a Patch.com t-shirt, and your pet’s photo on display at Saturday’s Sewickley Unleashed!

Starting today and until Thursday, May 17, you may enter our contest by uploading here your photo or photos of your favorite pet. On Friday, May 18, users will vote for their favorite pet in the categories of dog, cat or “other,” based on the entries submitted to the site. That means if you have a hilarious clown fish or a wiggly ferret, enter their pictures, too! The single qualification for the photos you send is that they include a pet.

Here’s how to enter: To add your own images, first become a registered Patch user. Then add to the gallery on this page.

Be sure to include your real, full name, the name of the pet shown, and any other relevant information about what the photo shows. The email address you use to register must be a working one so we can reach you should we have questions — or should you be selected as a winner.

If you live, work, or play in Sewickley, it’s super easy to enter the contest. All you do is follow these instructions  for uploading to Patch.com. Entrants must own or have permission to submit the photograph. All photos must be posted by midnight to be judged on Friday, May 18. The contest is open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia who are 18 and older.

Remember, voting takes place on Friday, May 18, so hurry and upload your pet’s photo!
