Eukanuba launches Facebook contest

MASON, Ohio — A Procter & Gamble dog food brand is hosting a Facebook contest that seeks to find one dozen dogs to be featured in an exclusive 2013 calendar.

Eukanuba said dog owners will have an opportunity to enter the contest on Facebook.com/Eukanuba, by “liking” the page and visiting the “Calendar Contest” tab to upload a picture and details about their canine. The contest has 11 entry periods, each with three phases: submission, judging and voting. At the close of each submission period, Eukanuba will select five finalists to represent that category and photos will be posted in an online gallery for voting by Facebook fans. The dog with the most votes in each category will represent their breed and/or age group in the 2013 Eukanuba calendar and receive a one-year supply of Eukanuba dog food.

"All of us at Eukanuba are committed to providing extraordinary nutrition so dogs look and perform at the top of their game, so what better way to showcase our mission than to feature 12 great examples every day of the year," Eukanuba associate marketing director Manuel Miyar said. "When we decided to create a calendar, we thought our fans would jump at the chance to submit their dogs for consideration and getting our Facebook community involved to help choose our calendar canines will make the experience fun for all of us."
