2025 CALENDAR SUBMISSION CALL OUT!
Submissions close midnight Sunday 25th of August 2024
We are on the hunt for some Greyhounds snaps to feature on our 2025 GAP Calendar! The pawfect present for any Greyhound/dog lover and what's better than having your own special furbaby in it?!
Whether it's a quick pic snapped on your phone, or an amazing photoshoot you and your hound did this year, we want to see them ALL! Submit your pics to calendar@gap.org.nz before the 25th of August and have your chance to be featured.
To ensure a smooth process and give proper credit where it’s due, please follow these guidelines when submitting your photos:
- Image Size and Quality: Submissions should ideally be larger than 1 megabyte in size. Both landscape and portrait orientations are acceptable.
- Focus: Hounds must be the primary focus of the photo, not the background.
- No Watermarks: Please submit photos without watermarks, as we may need to crop them for size.
- Number of Submissions: Limit submissions to a maximum of 3 images per hound. We understand this can be challenging, but it helps us manage the selection process.
- Professional Photographs: If you are submitting a professional photograph, please include the photographer’s name and ensure you have their approval for the submission.
Please be aware that your submission may be used by our Marketing team for future promotion activities and social media campaigns.
All images must be emailed to: calendar@gap.org.nz
Don’t forget to tell us your hounds name (retired and racing) so we can label the photos accordingly!
[Greyhounds picked for the 2024 Calendar: Brooke (Magical Machine), Lola (Kiribati Girl), Shelby (Teddy), Lucy (Blue Cosmic) & Basil (Unraced)]
Have a whole album full of photos and don't know which 3 to pick? Here's a couple of tips on deciding which pic to pick!
- Themes! Remember these pictures are for our GAP Calendar and with 12 months of the year, there are plenty of holidays and themes that can be connected to each month. Do you have a cute photo of your Greyhound with Santa? Or surrounded by spring flowers? Dressed up in a pink or red coat pawfect for Valentines day? Send em over! Who doesn't like seeing a cute Greyhound all dressed up?!
- Let Greyhounds be Greyhounds! We want to see pictures of Greyhounds doing what Greyhounds do best! Sleeping, standing, walking, thinking, running, roaching, and just generally looking very greyhoundish! Think your Greyhound is the best roacher? Take a pic and send it over! Got a funny bed fail pic? Send it over! Do your hounds form a tetris like shape while sleeping together? Send it over!
- The more the merrier! Although you can only send 3 pictures for submission, we'd love to see all your houndies and what better picture than a group snap?! Photos with 2 or more Greyhounds, your Greyhound with their doggy siblings or any other animals could make a great calendar photo! Not all Greyhounds get along with other animals or dogs so it's GREYT to see those that do, get along so well!
- Remember, even if your submission doesn't get chosen, ALL submissions are stored away at GAP and could be used for future Marketing purposes e.g. Posters, Facebook/Instagram posts, E-Newsletter, Campaigns etc. So at the end of the day, pick 3 photos that best showcase your Greyhound just being themselves, which you would LOVE for the public to see. A picture you can point to and say "Yup, that's MY greyhound!"
GOODLUCK!
