It’s time to enter your dog in our annual Halloween Dog Photo Contest. It’s the 11th annual contest, and all dogs are welcome to participate. This year, we’ve got more prizes, more entry opportunities, and more fun. Here’s how it works.
Our Halloween dog photo contest is easy to enter, but you must follow a few simple rules. Your dog can be funny or scary, in a group or on their own, or come up with your own creative entry. However, no humans can be featured in any of the photos.
The rules and how to enter are outlined below. All dog photos are welcomed: past and present. This year, FIVE entries per person are allowed: This means no more than FIVE pictures per person. You must own the photo(s) and photos cannot include text (other than a watermark). No people in the photos, please. Photos with humans or text on them will be disqualified.
The deadline to submit entries using the form below is Wednesday, October 27, 2021, at 11:59 AM ET. All photos will be sent to our judges for consideration and will be narrowed to the 10 top entries. Here’s how to enter your photos in our Halloween dog photo contest:

How Are Dog Halloween Photos Judged?
Fidose of Reality’s panel of three judges will pick TEN winners in the spirit of Halloween.
There are no categories, just Halloween them. The dog or dogs in the photos must be yours and dressed up for Halloween without putting the dog in harm’s way. Don’t make your dog dress up if he doesn’t want to, please. Dogs who don’t like to dress up can wear a fun collar and leash or bandana and be entered. Or they can be pictured in a lovely Halloween scene.
This is always one of our biggest contests. We don’t ask for LIKES or votes and this is a fun old-fashioned photo contest. Judges will choose the winners. The owner of Fidose of Reality, Carol, recuses herself as a judge.
Can I Alter Or Photoshop My Photos In Any Way?
No photoshopping, please. Any photoshopped photos will be disqualified. We want originality! You can watermark but that’s it. DO NOT SEND PHOTOS WITH TEXT ON THEM NOR PHOTOS WITH PEOPLE IN THEM. A WATERMARK IS OKAY, BUT ANY PHOTOS WITH TEXT ON THEM WILL BE OTHERWISE DISQUALIFIED.
Can Humans Be In the Photo?
No, there can be NO humans in the photo. Any photos that include people, whether or adults or kids, will be disqualified.
Can My Dog’s Friends And Family Enter?
Yes! We love to see tails wagging here at Fidose of Reality, so spread the word and make your voice heard. FIVE entries per person, please. Additional entries beyond the first FIVE will be disqualified.
