Competition Updates
The competition will run on a bi-monthly basis until further notice.
Competition entries will no longer be featured on the SuperDog Facebook page, but will be available for voting on the SuperDog website. A pinned post will be featured on the SuperDog Facebook page that includes a link to the public voting area. This post can be shared on your own Facebook page to direct users to future competitions.
The number of votes each image receives will no longer be displayed, preventing entrants from knowing their dog’s position in the overall competition until it is judged. Each bi-monthly and annual competition will continue to be judged using our 4 judging panels: Photographers, Owners, Sponsors and the new Public Vote.
Entrants will continue to receive an email and SMS message from SuperDog at the start of each competition, alerting them to vote and how they can invite family and friends to support their entry.
The Relaunch Competition will also introduce the following changes to the SuperDog competition:
• 1 x Monthly winner receives a £100 Pets at Home voucher
• £1000 Annual prize
Entry Criteria
• Entries can come from any source, even if it has come from another dog promotion or a studio’s own local marketing.
