Celebrating Greyhounds Calendar Photo Submissions
The Greyhound Project, in collaboration with Greyhound Adoption League of Texas, creates the beautiful, high quality Celebrating Greyhounds weekly planner and monthly wall calendar for adoption groups to resell as a fundraiser. We sell them at our cost, and about 100 groups purchase them in bulk each year to resell at their events.
We sell them directly to the public late in the year, but we always recommend you check with your group first. That’s why we create them!
Photos are submitted by adopters, and each photo identifies the dog(s), the owner(s), and the adoption organization.
It’s time to submit photos for the 2027 Celebrating Greyhounds calendars. The deadline is March 1, 2026, so start going through those photos now! Note that there will be no extension on the deadline this year.
Photo submission guidelines
We prefer electronic submissions, which should be attached to an email and sent to CGCalendarPhotos@galtx.org with “CG Calendar” in the subject line. Include your name, the dog’s name, the original adoption group or other source of the dog, your phone number, your email, and your full street address. If one of your photos is selected as the feature for the month or week, we’ll send you a complimentary calendar.
Please name your photos “LastName_DogName.jpg.” For example, “Norton_Bravo.jpg” or “Norton_BravoRunning.jpg.”
If you’ve done any photo editing yourself, including adding special effects, please send a copy of the original photo, too. Photos taken with ultra-wide angle lenses can be difficult to crop. Images that have been heavily manipulated or AI-generated will not be considered.
Most high resolution images are 1.5 MB* or more; somewhere in the range of 8″ x 10″ at 300 dpi/ppi, or 3840 x 2560 ppi or above is ideal. If your file is only 500 KB* or less, it’s too small for print media. If photos are very large, you’re welcome to send them one or two at a time.
*For the not-technicially-inclined: KB is small, MB is large.
JPG/JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or BMP are acceptable formats.
Social media platforms reduce the size of posted photos, so please send the original instead of downloading from Facebook or other social media.
Email applications can reduce your image, so be sure you’ve set the image size option to send at the original size. If you’re lucky, the application may ask what you prefer.
Tips to increase the chances we can use one of your photos
Select photos:
- With a plain background
- With wide open, natural looking eyes
- With a seasonal or holiday theme (don’t forget Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Halloween, and Thanksgiving)
- In clear focus
- Showing your dog’s personality
- If you can’t decide which photos to send, place them on a table and step away. Which ones catch your eye from a few feet away?
- Consider submitting both vertical and horizontal (portrait and landscape) shots. We need more vertical images for the weekly desk planner, and we typically receive more horizontal submissions.
