Chance of a Lifetime Dachshund Rescue "Chance" to Be a Star Calendar Contest: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the Chance of a Lifetime Dachshund Rescue calendar contest?

The Chance of a Lifetime Dachshund Rescue runs a public photo vote in Massachusetts that it calls the "Chance" to Be a Star calendar contest. Entries are photographs submitted to the calendar, and the organizer's own GoGo Photo Contest page is where people look at entries and cast votes. The listing is tagged to Stoughton as its metro, so anyone searching for a Stoughton area ballot will find this page.

Because the organizer sits in the best-of listing family on this site, the contest is a community photo vote rather than a sports poll. The ballot describes itself as a fundraiser for the rescue, and the page's main purpose is to let supporters choose which dachshund photograph should be featured.

When does voting run and which editions are confirmed?

The editions confirmed for this calendar are 2025 and 2026, and the organizer's ballot describes the calendar as an annual cycle with the next edition expected in 2027. The voting itself is staged around a set of summer Wednesdays. Those dates are July 15, July 22, July 29, August 5, August 12 and August 19, and on each one the picture with the most votes at that point is the one the page singles out.

The page gives no opening date for the voting window, so the start of the summer run should be read from the ballot itself. Confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

How does a supporter vote on the ballot today?

The ballot is organized into tabs labeled Participate, View Entries, Contest Rules and Prizes. A supporter starts by opening the entries list, finding the photo they want to back and casting a vote from the entry page. The vote itself is a public vote cast on the organizer's site, and no jury or panel appears anywhere in the ballot text.

The Contest Rules tab is where anyone should check how votes are handled before sharing a link widely. The ballot does not spell out how many votes a person may cast, so a supporter should read that tab on the live ballot rather than assume a limit.

How does this ballot sit beside other Massachusetts best-of votes?

Several other Massachusetts ballots share this site's best-of listing type, including Best of Boston and Best of Cape Cod. Those organizers run their own rules, and the details of each voting process differ from one ballot to the next, so each page should be read separately before a supporter commits time or money.

The Chance calendar is a single rescue's photo vote on its own platform, which sets it apart from the newspaper and magazine ballots in the same state. For readers who want the full set of Massachusetts options, Massachusetts contests is the state hub, and Central Mass Community Choice Awards covers a different part of the state.

How can a supporter help this entry move up the vote count?

The most useful step is sharing the entry link with people who already follow the rescue, and asking them to vote from the ballot page itself. The ballot text is the place to check how votes are handled, so every helper should read the Contest Rules tab before posting anything publicly.

Supporters can also time their sharing around the listed Wednesdays, when the page singles out the leading picture and a late push can be seen on the entries list. Outside help is an option some people explore, but the organizer's rules on purchased or outside votes are not printed on this entry, so read those rules before using any paid or third-party service.
