What types animals are eligible in this pet contest?

We welcome all pets! All animals – big or small, furry or hairless – are eligible.

How many animals can I feature?

There is no limit to the number of pets you can include, as long as they are in one photo.

You may submit one photo.

How is voting done?

Voting will be done through an online survey. The link to vote will be distributed to all participants, and it will be open to all members of the UBC community. We encourage you to share the voting link with your colleagues. Voting will open on December 1.

Do I need to make a donation to vote?

A donation is not required to vote. If you would like to make a donation, please visit https://unitedway.ubc.ca/howtogive/.

What is preventing people from voting more than once?

We encourage you to ask your coworkers to vote for your photo. Attempts will be made to limit voting multiple times, such as requiring voters to submit a UBC email address.
