2026 Pin Up Paws Calendar Contest

It’s time once again for the St. Augustine Humane Society Annual Contest for the 2026 Pin Up Paws Calendar. The contest begins May 1, 2025 at 8:00am (EST).

The theme for the 2026 calendar is “The Gilded Paw”.  So, if your pet has the charm of a Renaissance muse or the boldness of a modern masterpiece, be sure to enter them!  Submit a photo of your pet and start rooting for votes, each vote worth $1.00.

Voting begins May 1, 2025 at 8:00am (EST) through Saturday, July 12, 2025 at 8:00pm (EST).  And, you can vote as many times and for as many pets as you wish!

The Pet with the most votes becomes the ‘Grand Masterpiece’ on the cover for the 2026 “The Gilded Paw” calendar. The next twelve pets with the next highest amount of votes will be a celebrated portrait of the month.

Winners will enjoy a professional photo shoot with award-winning photographer Addison Fitzgerald.  Then, Maribel Angel – talented fine artist and graphic designer – will transform their image into a stunning, museum-worthy portrait with timeless elegance.

The 2026 calendar will be revealed at the Pin Up Paws Party on Thursday, October 23, 2025 at The White Room.
