Please join Chicken Run Rescue and United Poultry Concerns by capturing the beauty, joy, intelligence, dignity, agility and zany exuberance of your chickens in a photograph. Each year, twelve winning photos will be published in a calendar and winners will receive a free calendar. All calendar sales proceeds enable Chicken Run Rescue to continue helping chickens for another year.

TO ENTER: Send HIGH RESOLUTION DIGITAL PHOTOS to chickenrunrescue@comcast.net. Include your name, title or bird’s name, address, phone number and email address. Include a story in 140 words or less about their rescue, favorite friends or pastimes. Please send each photo with its story in a separate e-mail.

CONTEST RULES: Photograph everyday activities that are natural for your birds – no costumes, staged stunts or props. Chicken Run Rescue reserves the right to decline any images that conflict with our mission to promote the adoption of homeless chickens as companion animals and discourage breeding or buying. There are never enough homes for displaced animals.

Submission Deadline: Friday, August 30, 2013

Winners Announced: Fall 2014

RELEASE AGREEMENT: Submission of photographs implies acceptance of the following terms: Entrants in the Chicken Run Rescue Photo Contest retain all copyrights and other equivalent rights to their entered photographs. However, Entrants give Chicken Run Rescue the right to reproduce and publish their photographs and name in a calendar and in advertising to promote sales of the calendar. In all cases where such photographs and names are used, Entrants give Chicken Run Rescue the right to do so without obtaining the photographer’s further prior permission and without offering any compensation in any form except for the token prize of one free calendar.
