Bina Photography, in partnership with
From Forgotten to Forever,
is happy to announce its dog calendar for 2023.
Proceeds from the photo entries, voting, and the calendar sales will benefit From Forgotten to Forever with very needed veterinary care for rescued dogs and cats (largest expense), transport, and everyday necessities for foster care.
We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your dog or dogs and ask your family and friends to vote for them.
Dog(s) of any shape, size, and age, regardless of the rescue they were adopted from, are welcome to participate.
Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win.
By participating in the contest you will help From Forgotten to Forever Rescue continue their efforts with rescuing dogs and providing them with needed care, finding them a permanent, loving, and much-deserved home in Colorado.

Rules
The top 13 vote-getters will have their pet professionally photographed by Bina Photography for the 2023 calendar.
Entries featuring two dogs will share a month if they place among the top 13 vote-getters.
If your dog is one of the 13 to be photographed for the calendar, you must be able to bring your dog to Bina Photography Studio located at 8484 S Valley Highway, Englewood, Colorado 80112 on the agreed date and time for the pre-session consultation and the professional pet portraits on another day and time between July 15and September 15th, 2022.
If you are unable to commit to a photo session during those times or find yourself unable to travel to the studio, you forfeit your winning spot and the next top vote-getter will take your pet's spot in the calendar, no exceptions.
All winners will have the opportunity to purchase products and images following their session if desired.
