Happy Howl-i-days Pet Photo Contest

Happy Howl-i-days Pet Photo Contest

Here at Security Today, we’re decking the halls with photos of our pets, and we want you to catch the spirit of the holidays, too! Enter your pet in our Happy Howl-i-Days Facebook Pet Photo Contest for your chance to win a Sweet Peek video baby monitor graciously donated by LOREX!

Fellas, we know you adore your buddy! Why else would the dog be nicknamed “man’s best friend?” Snap a picture of your best friend—dogs, cats, birds, fish and other pets welcome—and send it on over!

And ladies, it’s time to break out the cute little Santa hats, reindeer antler headbands, elf hats and adorable sweaters for your pet and get to snapping some pictures!

How to Enter:

  1. Simply email a creative holiday photo of your 4-legged family member, or 2-legged if you have a bird or no-legged if you have fish or…well, I think you get the idea…to Ginger at [email protected].
  2. Brag a little about your pet, and tell me why he or she loves the holidays.
  3. Be sure to include your pet’s name, your name and email addy. (All personal information will be kept confidential!)
  4. Have your friends, family, coworkers, etc., the more the merrier, come on over and “like” your pet on Security Today’s Facebook page in the “Happy Howl-i-days Pet Photo Contest” album.

The pet photo with the most likes by December 31, 2013 will win a Lorex Sweet Peek video baby monitor, and a little surprise for your pet, too, for looking so dang cute! And, as a bonus, the winning photo will be featured as our Facebook cover photo, along with our logo, of course!
