Hello all and welcome to SkyAndNatureClub's "Holiday Pets" contest. This contest will challenge YOU, the photographer, to present a photograph that highlights your animal companions in all their holiday finery! We hope that after reading through this journal, you'll be excited to show us your best and participate.

- Entries will be accepted from December 6, 2015 through 11:59 pm PST on January 9, 2016.

However, your created pet must be constructed from things found in nature (sticks, rocks, moss, etc.). Created-pet entries may be submitted to the Still Life photography category. - The deviation must have been submitted to DeviantArt on or after September 1, 2015. We're looking for your newer work!
