A Darrah Bull Bully Rescue Show Us Your Pits Calendar Contest: How Voting Works & How to Win

What is the ADBBR Show Us Your Pits Calendar Contest and who runs it?

The 9th Annual ADBBR Show Us Your Pits 2027 Calendar Contest is a photo fundraiser staged by A Darrah Bull Bully Rescue Inc, better known as ADBBR, whose mailing address is PO Box 44, Roaring Spring, PA 16673. The organization works with bully-breed dogs, and the contest serves as its public fundraiser: supporters back photographs of entered dogs, and the whole exercise channels attention and money toward the rescue's work.

The ballot itself lives on the rescue's own contest site under the gogophotocontest.com domain, at https://www.gogophotocontest.com/showusyourpits2027. Its menu lays out the entire program in a single row of tabs: Enter Contest for new photo submissions, View Entries/Vote for the public ballot, Reserve Calendar Day and Calendar Order for the fundraising side, plus Rules, About Us and Sign In. A visitor can move from browsing dogs to voting to buying a piece of the 2027 calendar without ever leaving that page.

Which editions have run, and when does the 2027 vote end?

Completed editions stand behind the current cycle in 2025 and 2026, both run under the Show Us Your Pits banner. The 2026 edition carried the title "8th Annual ADBBR Show Us Your Pits 2026 Calendar Contest", and the cycle now live continues that numbering: its masthead bills it as the "9th Annual ADBBR Show Us Your Pits 2027 Calendar Contest", feeding the 2027 wall calendar rather than the one already produced. The eighth-annual billing on the older edition and the ninth-annual billing on the present one point to a program that predates both, although the earlier years are not enumerated anywhere on the ballot itself.

The deadline is printed directly on the ballot, which states "Voting Ends 10/3/2026 at 9:00 PM", meaning 9:00 PM Eastern Time on Saturday, October 3, 2026. The voting phase falls within October 2026 overall.

Several operational details stay off the page. No category list, no daily allowance, no eligibility terms and no round schedule appear on the ballot, so confirm on the live ballot each cycle. ADBBR likewise does not publish turnout figures or a roll of past champions alongside the ballot.

How does a supporter actually vote in the Show Us Your Pits fundraiser?

Voting happens on the ballot page itself. A supporter opens the rescue's contest site, selects View Entries/Vote from the menu, browses the entered photographs and casts a vote for the pictured dog. The Sign In control sits in the same menu for anyone whose session requires it, and nothing on the page directs voters toward a separate app or portal.

Entry runs through Enter Contest, where an owner uploads a photograph of their dog. Copyright is addressed openly: the ballot warns against copyrighted photos, professional photographer shots being its stated example, so the person entering should hold the rights to whatever image they submit.

The fundraising side runs through Reserve Calendar Day and Calendar Order, and the ballot names credit as the way purchases are paid for. It adds a perk on top: anyone who purchases a "Reserve a Day" also gets a chance to win a free calendar, tying the commercial side of the program back into the prize pool.

How does this fundraiser compare with Pennsylvania's best-of ballots?

Pennsylvania hosts a family of public-vote programs, and this one stands apart from them in nearly every respect. Best of Berks from Berks County Living Magazine, Best of Philly from Philadelphia Magazine, Best of the 'Burgh, Best of the Lehigh Valley from Lehigh Valley Style, the Bucks County & Chester County Readers' Choice and the Erie Reader Best of Erie all rank local businesses, restaurants and services across a metro area. The ADBBR contest instead ranks dogs, and its proceeds flow to a rescue rather than to a publisher's editorial franchise.

Six sibling pages cover those readers' choice ballots on this site; Best of Philly is the big-city example among them. Where a diner or a dentist campaigns for weeks before a broad regional audience, a Show Us Your Pits owner competes inside a niche of devoted bully-breed admirers, which changes how support spreads: personal networks, breed communities and rescue followers carry more weight than general civic pride.

How can an owner strengthen a dog's showing in this fundraiser?

This ballot rewards steady, personal outreach more than broad advertising, and the moves that work here follow from how the program is built:

• Enter early through Enter Contest so the photo collects votes across the whole October window instead of trailing from the start.
• Pick a bright, well-lit image that shows the dog's personality clearly, since the photograph is the only thing voters ever see.
• Share the direct ballot link with breed-rescue communities, because ADBBR's own follower base is the audience most likely to vote.
• Lean on the fundraiser angle: supporters respond when a vote also helps a rescue operation keep going.
