 How do I submit my photos?
You can't. The 2004 DOG BYTES Photo Contest is now CLOSED to new entries and submissions as of March 31, 2004
I live outside the United States and Canada. Can I still enter the contest?
Yes, you could have, but the contest is now CLOSED to new photo submissions.
Were all photo submissions entered into the contest?
Only photos that met the following criteria were entered into the Dog Bytes Photo Contest:
- Photos must be submitted via email as JPG, GIF, TIF or BMP files only. NO PRINTS WILL BE ACCEPTED OR RETURNED.
- By submitting your photo you agree to the rules posted here.
- Photos must be clear and in focus. Blurry or out of focus photos will not be posted.
- Photos must be original, non-copyrighted images.
- Only photos entered by those 18 years of age or older will be considered.
- Photos should not include people
Can I vote more than once?
No. Only one vote per person allowed. The voting software is set to record your IP address and can detect duplicate votes from the same computer. Any suspicions of fraud will automatically disqualify an entry without warning. All decisions are final and are the based on the sole discretion of Lucy The Wonder Dog, LLC.
What happens after the first round of voting?
One winner from each group will face off in a head-to-head winner take all playoff round. Everyone will be allowed to vote one more time in the playoff round to determine the sole winning photo.
Can I vote in more than one group?
Yes, we encourage everyone to vote for one photo within each group. We have 8 groups so everyone is allowed to vote a total of 8 times, one vote per group.
What if I accidentally vote for the wrong dog?
Please be careful in selecting which dog to vote for. If you accidentally vote for the wrong dog there is nothing we can do. You can NOT take the vote back nor will we change it. Pay special attention to the dog's name and face since there are several dogs with the same name. We have THREE (3) dogs named Toby, for example, so some are TOBY-A, TOBY-B, etc. Note that we also have a TOBBY and a TOBBEE. We also have multiple Molly's and a pair of Jakes.
How can I get more votes?
Tell your friends. FYI, each photo has it's own, unique URL and webpage so you can send people directly to your dog's photo within the contest.
Can I submit more than one photo?
No. Only one photo per family or mailing address. But the contest is closed now anyway.
Can other animals be in the photo?
Yes. As long as there's a dog in the photo. Just no people. But the contest is closed now anyway.
What size should my photo be?
No new photos are being accepted, but when we were, photos had to be no larger than 800 (wide) x 600 (high) pixels. All photos will be resized to fit our format and may be cropped for size and clarity. PHOTOS CAN BE REDUCED BUT THEY CAN NOT BE ENLARGED
What if I'm younger than 18 years old, can I still submit a photo?
No, but a parent or legal guardian can submit the photo for you. But the contest is closed now anyway.
Can I submit a photo of my deceased dog?
You could have, but the contest is now closed.
I submitted a photo but I don't see it on your website. Why?
Perhaps the photo was not high enough quality to be posted and entered into the contest. All photos must be clear and in focus.
What if my question is not listed here?
Drop us an email and after we give you an answer we'll post it here so others may benefit.
