2026 Save Our Rescue Calendar Contest
South East Dog Rescue, in partnership with Conor Kerrigan Photography, is happy to announce its pet calendar for 2026. Proceeds from the sale of the calendar and photo contest will assist South East Dog Rescue towards raising £1.7 million to buy their kennel site, what they now call home, and save the rescue.
We encourage you to submit your favourite photo of your pets and ask your family and friends to vote for them. Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win. Fees for photo entries and votes will help South East Dog Rescue attain a permanent home for the Rescue so that they can continue to provide amazing second chances for dogs in need.
Grand Prize:
The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entrants that get the most
The top winner will win the coveted cover photo for the 2026 calendar!
2nd - 13th place winners will have their pet featured as a pet of the month.
The top 13 vote-getters will have their pet professionally photographed by Conor Kerrigan Photography for the 2026 calendar.
Weekly Mini-Contest Prizes:
One pet each week who receives the highest number of new votes for a particular week will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses. In the event of a tie for that week's most votes or if there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized drawing will be held for all eligible pets.

Reserve a Special Spot In The Calendar For Your Pet:
Honour your pet or celebrate a gotcha day or birthday by reserving an empty grid space (before or after the numbered squares) for their photo. Choose a favourite photo, a month, and pay. Each month has a limited number of squares in each grid and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis; don't delay! Each grid space is just £10.
Rules
Entries:
Each entry is a £5.
Limit of 2 pets per photo entry. People are not allowed in photos, only your pet. Photos that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win with no opportunity for a refund.
Entry photos that include two pets will share a month if they place among the top 13 vote-getters.
All photos must be uploaded; we cannot accept printed photos. We cannot accept any copyrighted or professional photos.
The submission period starts at 08:00:00 (GMT Time) on Saturday, 05 April 2025 and ends at 20:00:00 (GMT Time) on Friday, 30 May 2025.
Any photograph that includes content that is deemed inappropriate, indecent, or obscene, as determined by Conor Kerrigan Photography in its sole discretion, will be removed from the contest with no opportunity for a refund.
Posting more than one photo of your pet does not increase the chances of winning. The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entries that receive the most votes. The same pet can only win once. Attempts to win two spots in the calendar by the same pet will not be permitted.
Voting:
Each £2 counts as one (1) vote.

Calendar Photo Session:
The top 13 vote-getters will win a professional on-location photo session by Conor Kerrigan Photography at a pre-selected location in Kent during June, July and August.
If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or find yourself unable to travel to these pre-selected locations, you forfeit your winning and the next top vote-getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar, no exceptions.
The top-vote recipient will win the coveted cover photo for the 2026 calendar. The following 12 recipients with the most votes will be eligible to have their pet featured as a pet of the month.
The photographer, Conor Kerrigan Photography, will choose the best image of the pets to be used in the calendar as well as which month that image will appear.

The pet receiving the highest number of new votes each week over the course of the six-week contest will win a mini-contest prize from one of the participating businesses.
Each pet may only win a weekly mini-contest once.
In the event of a tie, a random computerized draw will be held between the highest vote-getters of the week to determine that week's winner.
In the event that there are no new votes for that week, a random computerized draw will be held for all eligible pets.
