Wilma, 3-legged pirate cat, one of 13 Ravishing Rescues from the 2012 Calendar: image via 360photocontest.comYour rescued cat is naturally photogenic. Let's face it; all cats are. So sharpen your photographic skills and get your darling 'ravishing rescue' poised and posed to enter the 2013 Ravishing Rescue Calendar Photo Contest sponsored by the Stray Cat Alliance and VCA Charities.
The 2013 Ravishing Rescue Calendar celebrates the Stray Cat Alliance's twelfth year of success providing advocacy, rescue, medical care, and adoption services for homeless cats in Los Angeles. The Stray Cat Alliance has served thousands of cats in its no-kill shelter all this time, and it is recognized as a leader in public education and care for homeless cats. The photo calendar is a means for this non-profit agency to raise public funds.
Here's the gist* of how the contest works.
1. Anyone in the U.S. can submit your cat's or cats' photos to the contest in JPEG, JPG, PNG or GIF format. Submit as many photos as you want; submissions are free. Make sure, however, in case you win, that you will be able to submit an original photo that is at least 3648 pixels X 2736 pixels @ 72 dpi, and preferably 300 dpi, in size.
2. Your cat's photo(s) is posted on the contest website and the public gets to vote on it and the other photos submitted to the contest. Votes cost $1 each, but the minimum vote purchase is $5, and additional voting blocks are in multiples of $5. You can use all your votes for one cat photo or spread them out.
3. All photos are to be entered by the deadline on August 31, 2012 at 3:00 p.m. PST; voting will end on August 31, 2012 at 8:00 p.m. PST. So, it behooves you to get your photo(s) in ASAP if you want to win!
The 'ravishing rescue' with the most votes (get everyone you know to the Contest site to vote!) gets on the cover of the calendar, and the other 12 top ravishing rescue cats get to be the calendar cat of the month for January through December, 2013. There are already hundreds of ravishing cat entries at the contest site; go vote and save another kitty's life!
*The above is a very short summary. The complete rules are listed here. Read them carefully.
