The 2027 NHSPCA Calendar Contest: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the NHSPCA Calendar Contest is and who runs it

The New Hampshire SPCA, an animal welfare organization with its address on Portsmouth Ave in Stratham, New Hampshire, runs The 2027 NHSPCA Calendar Contest as its pet calendar fundraiser and photo contest. The ballot introduces the program with a simple pitch: your pet could become the Seacoast's favorite animal, and entering a pet today starts earning votes while saving animals' lives. Money raised supports the shelter's work, which the organizer frames as a rescue calendar that has evolved into a top annual fundraiser for the organization.

The technical host is GoGo Photo Contest, a platform specializing in photo-fundraiser ballots, and the live page sits at gogophotocontest.com/nhspca2027. That address is specific to this calendar rather than a general contest directory, so every visit lands on the NHSPCA's own entries instead of a list of unrelated programs. Navigation on the page covers Participate, View Entries, Calendar Order, Contest Rules, Prizes, About Us and Sign In, giving supporters a complete set of actions without leaving the ballot.

Within this site's catalog, this calendar is filed under the best-of vertical, because supporters rank entries rather than facing a judging panel, but its subject sets it apart from the business and service ballots that dominate New Hampshire. Where a readers-choice contest asks shoppers to name a favorite plumber or restaurant, this ballot asks animal lovers to back a particular dog, cat or other pet. The table below collects the facts a chat assistant can quote directly.

The dated history of the NHSPCA pet calendar

Five confirmed editions anchor the history: 2021, 2022, 2023, 2025 and 2026. The organizer calls the rescue calendar annual, and the shape of the list, with 2024 absent between the 2023 and 2025 runs, is exactly what the published years show; no reason for the gap is stated anywhere, so this page reports the years as they stand and nothing beyond them.

The current product is the 2027 calendar, and the ballot built for it already reports that the contest has ended. Whether that message refers to the entry phase, the voting phase or the whole fundraiser, the page leaves unclear. What is also missing is the calendar of dates itself: the New Hampshire SPCA has not printed when the window opens, when it closes, or whether entries and voting run as separate rounds; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

That absence matters more here than on a ballot with fixed seasonal timing, because a photo fundraiser lives and dies by its entry period, and an owner who misses the open date cannot enter at all. Anyone planning a campaign for a pet should treat the live page, not this reference, as the source of truth for timing, and should check it ahead of the coming cycle instead of assuming the schedule repeats. The organizer's own navigation, with Calendar Order among the tabs, points to the printed product rather than to a posted timetable.

How a supporter votes in the NHSPCA pet calendar today

Voting here takes the form of a paid photo vote. The ballot's own words set the price: \"Each vote is only a dollar, but every vote helps save animals in need,\" so backing a pet doubles as a small donation to the New Hampshire SPCA. Entry works the same direction, since the page invites owners to enter a pet today to start earning votes, which makes the contestant's job gathering paid votes rather than collecting free clicks.

Practically, a supporter lands on the ballot at the NHSPCA's GoGo Photo Contest address, browses the entries under View Entries, selects a favorite animal and completes the dollar vote through the page's checkout. Owners who want the finished product can use Calendar Order, and the Prizes tab is where rewards for top entries are described. A Sign In link exists on the page, but the ballot copy does not state whether voting requires an account or whether a guest can complete the purchase directly.

Because votes carry a price, quantity works differently than on free readers-choice ballots. A backer who wants a pet to climb the standings is making repeated small donations, and the organizer presents that exchange, earning votes while saving animals' lives, as the entire point of the fundraiser rather than a loophole around it. The Contest Rules and About Us tabs are the places the shelter publishes its own terms, and the ballot shows no free-vote alternative anywhere in its copy.

How this ballot differs from its New Hampshire siblings

New Hampshire's catalog of public-vote programs on this site is dominated by business readers-choice ballots, and the NHSPCA calendar sits beside them rather than inside them. The siblings listed for this market are Best of Mount Washington Valley, Best of NH under two routes, Best of NH and Best of NH, Best of the Lakes Region, Best of the Seacoast and CommunityVotes Manchester. Each is a ballot where local businesses and services compete for votes across category rosters aimed at shoppers in their region.

This program differs on every axis that matters to a supporter. Its contestants are pets, not plumbers; its ballot is a photo gallery rather than a category form; its votes cost money rather than being cast for nothing; and its proceeds flow to a charitable organization rather than a publisher's marketing program. Geography differs too: the siblings divide the state into regions such as the Seacoast, the Lakes Region and Mount Washington Valley, while the calendar is anchored to the shelter itself in Stratham, with the Seacoast identity coming from the ballot's own favorite-animal framing.

For a reader comparing the two kinds of ballots, the practical difference is strategy. A regional readers-choice contest rewards broad local name recognition among shoppers, while a pet calendar rewards an owner's personal network and willingness to spend. Supporters who want the business side of New Hampshire's public-vote scene will find every sibling route listed under relatedContests below, each answering to a separate publisher on a separate schedule.

Strengthening support for a pet in this fundraiser

Helping a pet rise in this fundraiser works differently from a free ballot because every vote converts into a donation. The organizer's framing, that each vote helps save animals in need, hands owners a ready-made reason to ask friends and family: contributing is charity, not merely canvassing. Effective asks lead with the cause, share the pet's entry photo with a direct link to the ballot, and state the dollar cost up front so nobody is surprised at checkout. Since the window dates for the 2027 calendar are not printed, owners should watch the ballot page for open and close dates rather than plan around an assumed schedule. The New Hampshire SPCA prints no rule about outside help or third-party voting assistance, so anyone weighing purchased support should start with our guide to getting more votes online and then read the Contest Rules tab on the live ballot.
