Kansas City, MO, August 1, 2026 —

Great Plains SPCA has officially launched its 2026 Best In Show Pet Photo Contest, calling on pet owners in Merriam, Kansas, and surrounding areas to participate. The annual contest serves as a key fundraising initiative for the animal welfare organization.

The primary goal of the 2026 Best In Show Pet Photo Contest is to raise a total of $40,000. These funds are critical for supporting the shelter’s operations, including animal care, medical treatments, and adoption programs.

A significant incentive for participants is the opportunity for their pets to be prominently featured. The grand prize winners of the contest will have their pet’s photograph immortalized on an outdoor mural to be displayed at the Great Plains SPCA’s campus. This offers a unique and lasting recognition for the winning pets and their owners.

Details regarding entry fees, submission deadlines, and judging criteria for the Best In Show Pet Photo Contest were not provided in the initial announcement. Interested individuals are encouraged to seek further information directly from Great Plains SPCA regarding how to enter their beloved pets into the competition and contribute to the fundraising efforts.
