Pet Photo Calendar Contest: How Voting Works & How to Win

What this Pet Photo Calendar Contest is, and who runs it

Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center, an animal shelter based in Riverside, California, raises money for its own programs through a Pet Photo Calendar Contest. The public gallery and voting sit on a separate platform, GoGo Photo Contest, at the address gogophotocontest.com/msrpac2027calendarcontest, a site copyrighted to GGPC, LLC, the company behind that platform.

The shelter's own materials, on a page separate from the contest gallery, describe the effort plainly: "Our annual Pet Photo Calendar Contest is a celebration of the animals who bring joy to our lives and a meaningful way to support pets still waiting for their second chance." The gallery's own navigation on gogophotocontest.com lists Enter Contest, View Entries/Vote, Reserve Calendar Day, Tips, Contest Rules and Prizes as separate sections.

Two confirmed editions behind a 6th Annual label

Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center brands the current round the 6th Annual Pet Photo Calendar Contest, but only two years are independently confirmed for this exact ballot: 2025 and 2026. A shelter's own anniversary count and the years a public web trail can independently confirm often differ; a fundraiser can run informally for years before that trail appears online.

The current round's one fixed date is its close: September 25, 2026, at 11:59:59 PM Pacific time. Nothing in what's confirmed states when this round opened, only when it ends.

The gallery publishes no list of categories or divisions for entries; every pet appears to compete for the same printed calendar rather than inside named groups. Exact judging structure, if any exists beyond a plain vote count, is not spelled out; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

Voting for a pet's photo today

A supporter opens gogophotocontest.com/msrpac2027calendarcontest, follows the View Entries/Vote link the site's own menu provides, and finds the pet they want to support inside the gallery. The confirmed page does not spell out a separate step beyond that navigation label, so whatever the gallery presents once a pet is found is the actual mechanic for this round.

Whether casting a vote there carries its own fee, separate from the fundraiser itself, and whether a supporter can vote more than once for the same pet, are not stated anywhere in what's confirmed. Both matter to a Riverside family planning a real push; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

The site's menu also lists Reserve Calendar Day as its own separate item, alongside Tips, Contest Rules and Prizes. What reserving a day actually involves is not spelled out beyond that label, and it reads as a distinct feature from casting a vote rather than a voting rule itself.

This fundraiser beside California's other pet-photo and best-of pages

This site also tracks several other California pet-photo fundraisers, each answering to its own separate shelter or rescue. Bark for a Cure! Pet Costume Photo Contest, Community Concern for Cats Calendar Cat Photo Contest and the San Diego House Rabbit Society's Bunnyfest Photo Contest each keep their own gallery, their own rules and their own results, with nothing tying any of them to Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center's Riverside program.

The two business ballots in that list, Best of Central Valley Business and Best of Marin, judge an entirely different field: local companies, not animals. A pet entered in Riverside's calendar contest gains nothing there, and a strong local business showing on either of those two changes nothing here.

Helping a specific pet's calendar entry

Because Mary S. Roberts Pet Adoption Center ties this contest directly to its own fundraising, asking people who actually know a pet, a foster family, an adopter, regular shelter volunteers, to visit gogophotocontest.com/msrpac2027calendarcontest and use the View Entries/Vote link does double duty: it supports that pet's calendar chances and funds the shelter's Riverside work at the same time.

Since neither a vote cost nor a repeat-voting rule is spelled out on the confirmed page, the safest approach is treating each supporter as a single genuine ask rather than assuming a workaround the page never described. Sharing the pet's own gallery link directly, rather than a general search result, also keeps a supporter from landing on a different shelter's contest by mistake. Building real momentum for an online ballot covers outreach methods suited to a shelter fundraiser like this one, distinct from a business readers'-choice poll.
