Update your email so that we can contact you if you win.  This will be the only way we can identify who submitted the photo.  Please double check your email for accuracy.
Enter only your name for the caption.  This information will be used to give you credit for your photo on our website.  Enter "anonymous" if you do not want your name disclosed with your photo on our website.  However, if you win, your name will be included in the list of winners.
By uploading a photo, you are agreeing to the rules presented here.

You may upload as many photos as you would like to the contest.

    Θ Photos that are high definition, clear and not blurry, which clearly show the entire dog(s) and/or person(s) without parts being cropped off or missing from the photo, and in which the Decotogs products are easily identified stand the best chance of winning.  In the event no photo meets these guidelines, Decotogs reserves the right to not award a winner for that category or contest (i.e., single photo submissions are not guaranteed a prize simply because there were no other submissions in that category.)
