The West Plains Daily Quill is calling on local pet owners to submit their best lookalike photos for the Copy Cats, Doggy Doubles photo contest, presented by All Pet & Equine Supply of West Plains.
Whether it's matching curly hair, a shared piercing gaze or a similar personality, area residents can submit photos of themselves side-by-side with their pets for a chance to win a grand prize or runner-up package. Submissions and daily voting open Monday at westplainsdailyquill.net/contest.
The deadline to enter and vote is Sept. 28, and participants may cast one vote per day. Submitted photos will be featured in a special showcase in the Oct. 3 print edition of the Quill.
The grand prize People's Choice winner will receive four admission tickets to the 28th annual St. Louis Renaissance Festival, a gift certificate to All Pet & Equine Supply of West Plains, a three-month subscription to the Quill, and a premium pet toy gift set. The runner-up winner will receive four festival tickets, a one-month Quill subscription and a pet toy gift set.
