Photo Contests & Opinions
In 2010, it'll be photo contests, and opinions. See list below.
Don't forget to visit our Auction. The first two weeks of every month, over 25 items for your viewing and bidding pleasure. Every penny helps hounds. You get super gifts for yourself and the people you love, and more hounds are helped.
In February we asked for Cover Photos for our 2nd edition of Greyhound Tales. We've reprinted it, and updated it with the still fantastic stories inside, and a new front and back cover. You sent gorgeous photos. We chose these from Sarah Regan Snavely. It's in hand, and on sale.
In March, we asked for your opinion on the best vacation spot with your hounds. Most people noted greyhound gatherings around the country. Here is a summary.
In April, you emailed us your photos of Sleeping Beauty's. Scroll below for top pictures - Lilly and Mr. Bremen

SEND A PHOTO - GUIDELINES
Here's how it works. You email pertinent photos to me. Greyhound pictures only. (Please read the guidelines below, as I cannot accept photos unless sent correctly) Then, photos will be voted on by other greyhound lovers. The winning photo will be displayed on the Contest Page the following month, and the hound will win a prize from Greyhound Gang.
Email your digital photos to Claudia. Please follow these rules:
1. Your email subject line says - Contest Name, with the dog's name also.
2. One photo per family, at this time, please. Submitter's name must be in the email.
3. CLEAR & In Focus. No weird eyes. No fuzzy pictures. Etc.
4. JPG or GIF only
5. Photos will be displayed exactly as sent. So crop before you send if needed.
6. Reasonably big, but not too big (i.e. too big is 1 MB or larger. ) 400 by XXX is the smallest size to send.
7. Best if subject is distinct from background. i.e. mostly dog in picture without lots of background disturbance
8. Picture must fit contest. For instance, Sleeping Beauty - means dogs who are sleeping.
VOTE FOR A HOUND
At the end of every auction, contest voting will happen. Photos will be displayed from those you have sent. Those photos will be voted on by your peers for the last two weeks of each month. Voting usually begins on a Monday at 9 pm MT, and ends on a subsequent Monday at 9 pm MT. Contest dates for voting appear in the table below, and on the front page of the web site. The winning photo will appear on the Gang's web site the following month. A prize will be awarded to the human that loves the most voted hound.
