Calling all top dogs and storytellers!

You are invited to enter America’s Top Dog Model 2020 Contest “Fairy Tails”!

If you can imagine your dog as a star in a book of fairy tails, this contest is for you!

 

 

Fairy Tails can come true when you crack open your imagination and explore the world of “Once upon a time.” Your fairy tail should consist of a 500 – 600 word story that portrays your dog in an original life story or “retelling” of a classic fairy tale. If it is a reinventing of a story like Cinderella… “It’s like Cinderella, but with a twist.”

In addition, entrant must submit an original, “professional” quality photo of your dog that “portrays” the character that you created in your fairy tail. The setting can be real or staged. No humans or other kinds of animals may be included in the photo.

If you are entering online send only your dog’s profile, including your story and a professional quality photo. Print out and execute the remaining documents should they be requested if your dog becomes a winner or finalist. If you are sending your entry via US mail, all contest documents are required. Please be sure to read America’s Top Dog Model 2020 Contest rules, for complete details.

One cover dog and eleven finalists will have their winning photos and stories published in America’s Top Dog Model’s book of Fairy Tails, and win an array of paw-some prizes! America’s Top Dog Model 2020 Contest ends April 30. The contestant that unleashes cover-dog style, and the best fairy tail story will become America’s Top Dog Model ® 2020 national winner and receive the following paw-some prizes!

Today, pets are considered part of the family and often reflect people’s need for intimacy, nurturance and companionship.

On January 15, 2014, the tenth contest was launched in search of “top dogs that make a difference.”   This is a contest with a positive mission.  Those of us who have pets, know they make us happy. But scientific research has proven that animals, particularly dogs, also help promote psychological and physical health by providing companionship, reducing stress, promoting social interaction, encouraging exercise, and providing unconditional love.

 

Not all research is focused on humans. Recent studies have proven that dogs benefit from human interaction as well, thanks to the love, care, attention, exercise and socialization they get from their people. We want to know how your canine family member is benefiting from the exchange.  America’s Top Dog Model ® 2014 Contest theme is “Healthy Paws.” This competition will focus on how people and dogs keep each other healthy.

Winners and finalist are featured in an annual calendar, in Jo Jo Harder’s books, and they also win fabulous prizes. The contest runs until April 30, and the theme  is “Healthy Paws.” Contest information is available at: http://www.americastopdogmodel.com/2014_contest.htm.

During the many years of organizing America’s Top dog Model ® competition, Jo Jo Harder received numerous emails from around the world. The #1 question: How can I get my dog into modeling?   Seeing the need, Jo Jo combined her expertise as a fashion designer, stylist, writer, and former model to create “How to Become a Top Dog Model”, the “first” complete canine modeling guide.
Over the years, America’s Top Dog Model ® contests has collaborated and supported many community events and charities in South Florida and nationwide. You may listen to this recent interview on Paw Life Radio.
