I want to encourage all of my readers to participate in this awesome photo contest.
Calling on all yogis: The Ladybird Animal Sanctuary (LAS) is on a mission to help as many dogs, cats and other domesticated animals in need, but we're asking for your help. In celebration of the joy of yoga and the beautiful relationship we share with our pets, the LAS is looking for photos that capture both of these things.
Here is the challenge: find yourself a friend with a camera and show us your best yoga pose. The twist, though, is that we want to see your beloved pet in the photo with you. We are looking for anything fun, playful, beautiful, poignant, peaceful... you name it. Anything that expresses your wonderful relationship to your yoga practice & your best furry pal.
The LAS will choose 12 winners from across Canada who will be featured in our 2012 calendar, which will be sold in yoga studios throughout our country. The Grand prize winner will get the cover photo and all winners will receive a gift pack with yoga and pet related goodies. Alongside your photo will also be a short description of you, your photographer and your animal. The best part of this whole project is that all proceeds from the sales of the calendar will go to helping animals in need.
So get your cameras ready and send your submissions to: [email protected] Just give us a minimum of one photo and a maximum of three and a quick description of yourself. The better quality the shot, the better for us. Ideally, 8 x12 inches at 300dpi (jpeg or pdf). This call goes out to yoga students and teachers alike. All submissions need to be in by August 31st and the winners will be announced shortly after. We thank you for taking the time to participate and helping out with such a great cause.
