PET LIFE RADIO NATIONAL DOG SHOW MEME CONTEST

America's most prominent TV show celebrating the wonderfulness of dogs is the National Dog Show Presented by Purina on NBC Thanksgiving Day. The two-hour, family entertainment  special attracts a total audience of well over 20 million each year.  Why?  Because it celebrates all of the dogs in our lives as everyone roots for their favorite breeds (mixed or otherwise) throughout the show.

In conjunction with this annual celebration of dogdom, Pet Life Radio and The National Dog Show are conducting a meme contest based on the theme of "Dogs until 2." The National Dog Show airs from noon-2 p.m. in all time zones following the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. So, “On Thanksgiving Day, It’s Dogs Until 2.”

The "Dogs Until 2" message has resonated especially with children and pet lovers because it gives them a reason to maintain control of the television remote at least through the early afternoon, knowing that football is known to be a usual TV attraction on Thanksgiving Day. Football games begin early, but those first couple of hours (pregame and first half) are easily sacrificed by football fans if there is an entertaining alternative like the dog show. Everyone can spend a couple of hours from noon until 2 p.m. to enjoy watching the dogs, especially on the most family-centric day of the year.

So, we are going to have some fun creating memes or photo/captions that show: Our dogs watching the dog show; Or playing football; Or just doing the crazy things that they do to our endless delight day after day after day. Go to our Facebook page to see last year's winner and scroll down to our community section of our Facebook page to see memes from this year's contestants!”

Submissions for this contest will be accepted until November 21st at midnight ET.

HOW TO ENTER:

Find the awesomest :) picture of your dog(s) and use that photo to make a meme, using the words to make us laugh and illustrate how special your dog is! The goal is to create a photo/caption combination showcasing your adorable canine(s) while reminding people that Thanksgiving Day is special because the dog show is on from noon until 2 p.m. across the country. “On Thanksgiving Day, It’s Dogs Until 2.”

Memes will be judged based on humor, creativity and cuteness. David Frei and John O'Hurley, hosts of the National Dog Show, will choose the top 10 finalists. Then, the overall winner will be chosen by Pet Life Radio. Pet Life Radio will award two $500 first prizes, one for the best meme and one for the best photo/caption..
