2027 CALENDAR PIGTURE CONTEST
ENTRIES OCTOBER 12TH – NOVEMBER 22nd

Photo admission is FREE! One photo entry per piggy!
If you have several piggies, you can put them into one photo or you can choose to send individual photos. No guinea pig should appear more than once in the entries. If a piggy appears more than once, only the first entry will be allowed. You CANNOT enter a previously entered picture.

All photos become a shared property between the entrant and the Sanctuary and may be used in future Sanctuary events. EMAIL your photo(s) to Guinea-Pig-Sanctuary@comcast.net with the subject line “Calendar Entry” so that we don’t miss it.

These photos will be put into a Facebook album titled, “2027 Calendar Entries” so that everyone can see the entered photos. You are welcome to comment on the photos but that doesn’t influence the judging process.

Twelve winners will be chosen by a third-party group to appear in the calendar. Several runner ups will also be selected for the blank spaces in the calendar.We will not know who won a month until around the time the calendars are ready. That way it’s a surprise for everyone.

Entry DEADLINE is November 22nd at midnight. No exceptions!

BUY MEMORIAL & SPECIAL DAYS

If you would like to “Buy A Day” for someone’s birthday, a memorial tribute, an anniversary, or anything else, we can do that. The cost is $20 and can be paid in person or through Venmo or PayPal @guineapigsanctuary. You must put “BUY A DAY” in the notes and send an email at
Guinea-Pig-Sanctuary@comcast.net to let us know the date and occasion for the date. There is no limit to how many days you can buy.

CALENDAR PRE-SALE

Calendars can be purchased during the pre-sale now until the order date. You can pre-order as many as you want. After that, quantities are limited to what we have over the pre-sale number. Calendars will be shipped out in the first and second weeks of December.

Calendars are 12” x 24” and feature a large top photo and several mini photos in the blank days.They are $30 each and you can pay through Venmo, PayPal, or in person.

If you pay online, make sure you include the CORRECT shipping address. It is always best to send us an email after you pay so we can get the address set up for shipping. Otherwise, calendars will be shipped to the address that shows up in the payment method used.

SHIPPING – Shipping is $7.00 for the first calendar and $1.00 each for each additional calendar. To combine shipping, they MUST all be going to the same address. Once the calendars arrive, you can pick them up at the Sanctuary.
