** Submit your entries through our Facebook page**
F. A. Peabody Company (FAPCO) is holding its ninth annual Patriotic Pet Photo Contest on Facebook, beginning June 19 and running through June 30. The proceeds from the contest will be going to humane societies/animal sanctuaries throughout the state of Maine. The greater the number of entries, the more we will donate.
Here’s how the photo contest works: When an individual submits a photo entry, they designate the shelter of their choice to receive $1.00. The shelter will receive $1.00 for every entry on its behalf. Shelters that have more than 25 entries on their behalf will receive $2.00 for each entry from #26 on.
The photo with the most likes will win an additional $100 for the selected shelter.
Winning pets of our previous Pet Photo Contests will be excluded, in order to give others a chance to win.
All shelters will receive a $1.00 donation for each entry on their behalf regardless of which photo wins.
There will be a maximum donation of $350 per shelter.
**IMPORTANT NOTE** Please consider proper American flag etiquette, as written on the website of the American Legion when posing pets for your photos. Specifically, do not place an American flag on your pet, the ground, or any object. And do not place your pet or anything else on the flag. We will not be posting photos unless respect for the flag is shown.
