America's Top Dog Model 2010
The yearly America's Top Dog Model competition is at full swing once again.
This year's competition, which started on 1 December 2009, is hoping to find the most eco-friendly and stylish dog in the USA.
Just as with previous year's competitions, the 2010 competition has a unique theme: "Go Green with Style." The big difference is that this year's theme actually incorporates the previous 5 themes: fashion, home, travel, entertaining and sustainability.
Dog owners who are 18 years of age and older and legally residing in the United States, excluding Hawaii and Alaska, are able to enter America's Top Dog Model competition.
In order to enter the competition, entrants need to submit a 5 x 7 horizontal photograph, professionally taken of their dog in a "green scene". Entrance forms, including the rules, a profile of your dog, assignment of copyright and a signed release form from the photographer should also be included with your dog's application. All entry forms can be downloaded from the competition's website.
The photograph should portray how your pet is living an eco-chic lifestyle and what they are doing to help reduce their own carbon 'pawprints'.
"I think it's a great platform to help educate people on sustainability and the different ways you can go green with your pet," said Jo Jo Harder, the creator of America's Top Dog Competition.
The posh pooches that enter this year's competition will all be invited to attend a live casting call. The first casting call for 2010 will be held at the Cincinnati Reds and Iams' Bark in the Park annual event in Cincinnati in April. Whilst other casting calls will be held across the country, they are still being planned according to Harder.
The grand winner of America's Top Dog Model 2010 will be featured on the front cover of the Pet Style News magazine as well as be included in a feature story. The winner will also appear on the front cover of America's Top Dog Model's 2012 calendar.
Other prizes for the winner of the Top Dog Model competition include a wonderful three night vacation at Cincinnati's Westin Hotel during the Cincinnati Reds and Iams' Bark in the Park event to be held during September 2010, and a custom made bon Christiani eco-friendly collar designed specifically with the winner in mind.
The winner will also receive a Gold Paw Series Eco Cozy Coat, a signature America's Top Dog Model Signature T-shirt, a hand-drawn pet portrait of the winner drawn by renowned artist Erica Vojnich, as well as an autographed copy of 'Diva Dogs: A Style Guide To Living The Fabulous Life'.
Besides the grand prize winner, there will also be eleven other finalists selected in the competition. Each of these finalists will also be featured alongside the winner in America's Top Dog Model 2012 Calendar.
The finalists will also all receive an Eco Cozy Coat from the Gold Paw Series.
In addition, both the grand prize winner and the eleven finalists will all be featured on America's Top Dog Model website.
America's Top Dog Model Contest, which has its headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, is a nationwide search for posh pooches that have style. This year competition will run until 15 May 2010.
The theme of the 2010 contest, "Go Green with Style" carries on America's Top Dog Model's goal of advocating the value of sustainability, amongst pets and their owners.
The American Pet Products Manufacturers Association conducted a national survey of pet owners during 2007 and 2008. During this time frame there were 74.8 million dogs that were owned in the United States.
Pet owners and their dogs can work together to make their own unique contribution to helping save the planet. Such ways include feeding your dog organic food, using natural flea repellants and shampoos, and purchasing collar for your dog made out of organic hemp.
