MetroWest Humane Society Pet Calendar Photo Contest

Ashland · MetroWest Humane Society

MetroWest Humane Society runs its Pet Calendar Photo Contest for supporters of the animals at its Ashland, Massachusetts shelter. The ballot lives at gogophotocontest.com/mwhs-2026-calendar, part of the GoGo Photo Contest network. The page's own dated language spans nine confirmed contest years, 2018 through 2026, longer than most shelter calendar drives get to claim. Past that run of years the page stops volunteering specifics: no category list, no per-voter limit, and no published nomination or voting window appear anywhere on the current page. One detail does survive in the contest's own notes: a pet dressed as "Santa Claws" may land on the calendar's June page rather than December, since a printed month doesn't have to match the month a photo was actually taken. Confirm on the live ballot each cycle.
