Announcing the 2023 Pets 'n Preservation Photo Contest Winners!
Highly regarded—in our opinion—as one of Oregon’s premier pet photo contests, the Restore Oregon Pets ’n Preservation photo contest raises awareness of our most loved places around the state.
For the last three years, animals from all across the state have entered our contest in hopes of winning the coveted cover of the Pets ’n Preservation Calendar. With submissions flooding in featuring different resource types from different time periods, we awarded a cash prize to our cover pup Bridger at the Phoenix Pharmacy!
Congratulations to our Pets ‘n Preservation photo contest winner: Bridger!
Bridger is one happy pup enjoying the sun in front of the Phoenix Pharmacy Building built in 1922, Portland. Phoenix Pharmacy Building was added to the National Historic Register in 2022 and was a 2022 DeMuro Award Winner for excellence in historic preservation. Photo submitted by Matt Froman.

A big thank you to everyone entered the photo contest!
The Pets ‘n Preservation calendar is an annual fundraiser to support our work across the state, and YOU helped to make it happen! Make sure to purchase a calendar, or two, to help Restore Oregon fulfill our mission to preserve, reuse, and pass forward Oregon’s historic places.
Restore Oregon is Oregon’s only statewide historic preservation nonprofit organization, but it may surprise you to know that we receive no dedicated state funding. That means support from our community of donors and grant funders is key to the success of our preservation work. Thank you!
