Kids and Pets Photo Contest

24th Annual Kids and Pets Photo Contest Winners Announced

The Hillsborough Animal Health Foundation is proud to announce the winners of the 24th Annual Kids and Pets Photo Contest. Sponsored by the local veterinary community, the Hillsborough Animal Health Foundation’s Photo Contest celebrates the unique bond between kids and the pets they love. Each year, the Foundation is inundated with hundreds of amazing photos taken by kids, featuring pets in every imaginable setting. These efforts are not easy to judge; they all show talent by the photographer and they all demonstrate the indescribable bond we share with our pets. Having been forced to make a selection, the judges have named the following kids as winners:

1st Place – Allie Schmidt, age 17

2nd Place – Sara Tingen, age 13

3rd Place – Ryan Coughlin, age 13

Congratulations to our winners! We appreciate all the great efforts by every child who participated, and we look forward next year to more wonderful photos as we enter our 25th year of celebrating the child-animal bond!
