SORRY BUT THE DEADLINE HAS PASSED FOR THIS CONTEST. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ENTRIES. THE WINNER WILL BE NOTIFIED IN MID DECEMBER.

Get your dog on the cover of Bark magazine and win an exclusive photo session with top dog photographer Amanda Jones. To celebrate Bark's 10th anniversary, we are looking for a cover dog who embodies all the qualities we love—happiness, spirit, charm and personality.

We invite everyone to send us a photo of their dog and a few words why their pooch is the perfect Bark Cover Dog. The winning entry will be selected by Bark's editorial and creative staff, and we'll fly Amanda Jones out to your home for a special photo shoot.

ENTRY RULES:

• Deadline for entries is August 31, 2007
  Cover will appear on our January 2008 issue, the winner will be notified in December.
• All dog are welcome-any breed, any age, any size. Dogs will not be judged on any breed standards. Mixed-breed entrants are very much encouraged.
• Your dog must be camera-friendly, not afraid of flashing camera lights, and able to pose-fairly still-for a photo session.
• All we want to see is a snapshot of your dog-we are judging the dog and your story, not the quality of the photograph. This is not a photo contest.
• Keep your comments (reasons your dog should be the Bark cover dog) to 150 words or less. The words are helpful but not critical.
• This is not a writing contest.
