Calling All Artists

May 3, 2008

If you've been waiting to unleash your creative talent on the dog world, here's your chance! The AKC and Eukanuba have once again launched their Commemorative Poster Contest. You've got until October 10, 2008 to hone your talent and submit an entry celebrating the theme "The Wonderful Word of Purebred Dogs."

Here's the good part: the grand prize winner will receive $1,000 and a four-day/three night trip for two to the eighth annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Long Beach, California, December 13-14 (including airfare and hotel). The winning artwork will be used in a commemorative poster that will be sold at the event as well as on the AKC Web site. Proceeds will be donated to Take the Lead, a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization that provides direct services, support, and care for people in the sport of purebred dogs who suffer the devastation of a life-threatening or terminal illness. Below are the winning posters from the past two years. For further details, click here. Good luck!
