- 1). Take a photo of your dog using a camera that will yield a high-quality image of at least 266 dpi. Get a photo that reflects your dog's personality, and is as cute as possible. This can be difficult considering how much dogs can move around. Avoid motion and get a sharp image by snapping a photo when your dog is at rest instead of playing.
- 2). Submit a digital version of your photo on a CD-ROM disc and a color printout of the photo. Each photo calendar contest has different rules, so pay attention to the details. Having a CD-ROM version and a color printout--the requirements for Page-A-Day's Photo Calendar Contest and the Bad Dog Photo Calendar Contest--will help you with the big requirements for photo calendar submissions. Other contests, such as the Sanctuary for Senior Dogs Photo Calendar Contest, allow you to submit a 4-inch by 6-inch or 5-inch by 7-inch photo.
- 3). Write the name of your dog, as well as your name, phone number and address on a self-adhesive label. Press the label on the back of the photo.
- 4). Place photos in an envelope with any required contest entry form and send to the appropriate address.
