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 two years, animals from all across the state have entered our contest in hopes of winning the coveted cover of the Pets ’n Preservation Calendar. Last year, Simba at the John Mock House, North Portland (1894) won and graced our calendar cover, along with 11 other calendar pet winners that won over our hearts.
Enter Your Pet Today – Cover Shot Wins $150!
Our expert panel of judges will review the submissions and narrow down to our winning cover shot—plus an additional 11 calendar pets. The place is important – location can anything from your front porch to a national registered historic place…it just must be at least 40 years old.
Here’s how the contest works:

First, nominate your pet! Shamelessly promote your pet by posting your furry besties at your favorite old place, then use #petsnpreservation and tag us on social @restoreoregon, so we can see it. Nominations now open through August 1, 2020.
Drop a high resolution version of the image (greater than 5MB) into this folder.
And finally, please send us an email (info@restoreoregon.org) to let us know you saved your high resolution photo. In the email, please include pet’s name, your name, details on the place, and your contact info.

Got Questions? Email info@restoreoregon.org.
Good luck!
