The Lancaster Unleashed Como Lake Bark Park calendar photo contest is a public web vote sponsored by Lancaster Unleashed, a group in Lancaster, New York. Votes are cast on the GoGo entries pages, and the dog photos with the most votes are featured in the calendar. It is a fundraiser, and each featured dog photo earns its owner one complimentary copy of the full color calendar, which the ballot text describes as printed in full color.
The ballot text shows a web vote with no judging panel and no editorial shortlist. Entries are photos of dogs taken at Como Lake Bark Park, and the public tally decides which thirteen photos appear in the calendar. The 2026 ballot is the only confirmed edition.

The 2026 page lists voting ending 10/4/2026 at 6:00 PM Eastern Time, so that close time is the dated fact stated here. The ballot page states that closing time in Eastern Time, so a reader in another zone should convert it before planning around the deadline. The window is the only exact timing the ballot text carries, and the calendar itself is built from the final tally.
The page does not state an opening date, a category split or a per-voter limit. This is the first confirmed edition; whether it returns next year is not yet published; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.
| Stage | Window | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 photo vote | Closes 10/4/2026 at 6:00 PM Eastern | Calendar built from the top thirteen photos |
| Confirmed editions | 2026 only | No other calendar year is attached to this program |
| Next calendar | Not published | No next-season date appears in the ballot text |
A supporter opens the Lancaster Unleashed entries page on GoGo Photo Contest, browses the dog photos entered for the calendar, picks the one they back, and submits the vote. The ballot does not ask for a separate membership or a donation before voting, so the entries page is the whole route in.
Each entry is a photo of a dog at Como Lake Bark Park, and the page shows the entries side by side for comparison. Readers should check the photo on the live page before voting, because the entries list is the only part of the ballot a supporter sees before choosing.
| Ballot element | What the page shows |
|---|---|
| Ballot host | GoGo Photo Contest, Lancaster Unleashed entries |
| Entries | Dog photos taken at Como Lake Bark Park |
| Submission | Vote control on the entries page |
| Results | Vote counts shown on the entries page |
The sponsor sets the entry list for each calendar, so a voter cannot add a photo that was not entered. The entries page is the only source a reader needs to confirm a photo before selecting one.
The Lancaster Unleashed calendar sits in a group of New York best-of ballots covering Brooklyn, Hudson Valley, New York City, Queens, the Bronx and Westchester. Those polls pick businesses and places, while this one picks dog photos for a charity calendar.
A reader comparing this page with the Best of Westchester ballot will see the same state and a similar vote format, but a different subject and a different sponsor. The full New York list sits on the New York contest index.

| Como Lake Bark Park calendar | Dog photos, charity calendar | This page |
| Best of Westchester | Local businesses and places | /usa/new-york/ |

This vote is a public web vote, so the most direct way to strengthen support is to share the GoGo entries link with people who walk dogs near Como Lake Bark Park. The general sharing steps for a public vote are set out in the how-to guide for getting more votes online, which covers timing and wording without promising any result.
The ballot text available here says nothing about outside help, so the sponsor's terms set what counts.

Before any paid step, read the legal position on buying votes and the sponsor's rules.
