What is the Precious Pets Contest?
This is NOT a juried contest. Contestants submit a favorite photo which is posted both on our website and at the Ypsilanti Heritage Festival, August 15th-17th. Votes are purchased by the public, and the two photos in each category with the most votes will be declared the winners.

Why should I participate?
