Reigning Cats and Dogs!*
At the Beach Coast we love our pets and, on a given day, maybe even more than our kids, spouses, or significant others! We know our readers are just as crazy about their animals as we are and we are announcing our first pet photo contest. If you scroll down you will see all of our pets and now that we’ve shown you ours, we want to see yours! It’s easy to enter. All you need to do is send us a high-resolution photo of your pet (or pets) to info@thebeachcoast.com. Scroll down to the bottom of out SPLASH section for complete photo specs. Please include your pet’s name, breed, and age. We must receive your submission(s) by August 15th. We will publish all entries in our September issue and you will have a chance to vote on your favorite pet photo. First, second, and third place winners will be published in our October issue and pet-related prizes will be presented to the lucky winners.
*And no, contest is not limited to cats and dogs. We love all pets.
