Every year, the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria’s pet photo contest chooses an “Animal of the Year” — an ambassador to represent all of Alexandria’s Animals at AWLA and City events.
It’s time to take a photograph of your favorite animal, enter it in the online contest, and encourage everyone to “Click Your Pick” to be this year’s winner!
“Click Your Pick”
Registration, voting, and competition activities begin June 1, 2017, and continue until the end of the month. After contest results are announced, the AWLA will publish a colorful, full-sized calendar celebrating all of Alexandria’s Animals. In addition to being crowned Alexandria’s 2018 Animal of the Year, the winning pet will:
- Be featured on the front cover of the calendar, and…
- Appear in a local theater commercial.
The contest is one of the AWLA’s most important annual fundraisers, encouraging donations critical to helping local animals in need. The fee to enter your favorite animal(s) is $30 (one entry per photo). Votes cost $1 each.
Entries and votes can be purchased online, by calling 703-746-5661, in person at the Vola Lawson Animal Shelter or by mail to the attention of:
