Enthusiastic Pet Lovers Celebrate the Season with Holiday Photo Caption Contest

Get out the matching holiday sweaters! PetSmart Charities has partnered with the humor blog Awkward Family Photos (AFP) to announce a holiday photo caption contest. 

The contest features a hilarious, holiday-themed photo gallery of pets and people alike in unforgettable fashions and poses. Anyone can submit their own creative photo captions for a chance to win an Awkward Family Photo gift bag.

The contest aims to celebrate the passionate pet lover in all of us - poking fun at the overly enthusiastic pet owner while also embracing their passion for their furry friends.


PetSmart Charities hopes to bring awareness to the importance of pet adoption and maybe even spark potential adopters to save a life by adopting a pet this holiday season.

HOW TO ENTER

The caption contest submission period will begin on Dec. 12 and run through Dec. 17. Participants and spectators are invited to cast their vote for their favorite caption on the AFP website from Dec. 17 until Dec. 20 when the winners will be announced.

Winners of the caption contest will receive an Awkward Family Photo gift bag, complete with their New York Times Best-Selling coffee table book, as well as an AFP themed calendar and board game. The winning caption will be featured on the front page of AFP as soon as the voting is concluded.
