Send pet pinups for calendar

The Hawaiian Humane Society has a colorful way to show off your best pet photo and raise money for the organization at the same time: the 2002 pet pin-up calendar! Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions.

Q. I have a wonderful pet photograph, but the animal wasn't adopted from the Humane Society. Can my photo still win?

A. Yes. Photos are judged by an independent panel of professionals. We welcome all pet photos.

Q. I can't find the negative to a terrific pet photo and would like the original returned. Is this possible?

A. Sorry. The Best Friends Collage will be made by cutting up original photographs and arranging them artfully. Have your original photo copied professionally before you enter the contest.

Q. How will I know if my pet is featured as one of the lucky 14 featured on full pages?

A. Those who submitted the winning photos judged as Pets of the Month and the front cover will receive a phone call from the Humane Society in August. Calendars will be available in fall, selling for about $10 each.
