Athens, Ga. - The call is out for all photogenic felines and camera-friendly canines—and equines, bovines and all other animals—as the University of Georgia Veterinary Teaching Hospital announces the return of its Picture Your Pet Photo Contest.
High-resolution images are being accepted through Aug. 31. The competition is open to any current or former client of the teaching hospital or Community Practice Clinic, both of which are based in the UGA College of Veterinary Medicine.
To enter, clients may drop off or mail a non-returnable disk to the Veterinary Teaching Hospital or may submit photos online at www.vet.uga.edu/GO/photo-contest. Mail disks to the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Attn: Picture Your Pet, 501 D.W. Brooks Drive, Athens, Ga. 30602.
Photos must be high-resolution images of at least 300 dots-per-inch taken with a six megapixel or higher camera. Photos taken by cellphone cameras may not have the resolution needed to produce a high-quality photograph, and therefore may be unacceptable. A brief narrative of between 50 and 200 words describing the picture and/or pet's experience at the teaching hospital or clinic must accompany each entry.
A panel of judges will critique photographs, and winning pictures will be displayed in the teaching hospital and clinic.
