2025 CONTEST RULES
Visitors to the contest webpage may vote once per day, per entry, per IP address. In the case of any dispute, the decision of ALBBAA is final.
All photos should show dogs in the woods, on point, in action, posing with their retrieved bird or game or in another sporting situation. The photo must be taken in one of the Black Belt’s 23 counties.
While ALBBAA acknowledges the greatness of lap dogs, this contest is NOT for them. The contest is for photos of dogs in the woods, on point, in action, or posing with their retrieved bird or game. Photos can include the owner or family members alongside the star of the photo – a furry friend. A general snapshot of a dog in a comfy bed, relaxing on the porch or anything other than showcasing sporting skills will NOT qualify.
ALBBAA reserves the right to approve or reject any photo submitted. Cause for disqualification of a photo can include, but is not limited to, the following:
- The photo content presents the subject in an unethical or disrespectful composition.
- The photo content is perceived to cast a negative perception of hunters and their contribution to the management of wildlife.
- Voting violation which imposes an unfair advantage to others.
The winner of the contest is selected exclusively through online voting.
2025 DEADLINE FOR VOTING
