CHS Pet Calendar Contest Returns!

Stuff We Love
Jan. 25, 2025

Last year, Amanda Lewis Photography helped raise $17,000 for the Cherryland Humane Society (CHS) in Traverse City. Lewis partnered with CHS for their annual pet calendar contest, in which pet owners can submit photos of their furry friends for a chance to win one of 13 photography sessions with Lewis and be featured in the calendar. Back again this year, the fundraiser aims to raise $20,000. Entries are now open; you can submit a photo of your companion along with a $5 entry fee, and folks can vote on the top pets for $1 per vote. (The pet that gets the most votes will grace the 2026 cover!) There’s also a “reserve a grid space” option that allows you to guarantee your pet on a day-of-the-week square for $10. Voting ends March 2. Learn more at gogophotocontest.com/cherryland2026.
