THE WINNERS!!

Welcome to the BRAT 2027 Calendar Contest finale!

https://basenjirescue.org/calendarcontest/default-winners.asp

The 11 (this year there was a tie for 10th place) pictures below received the highest number of votes by the BRAT community in this year's calendar contest.

In order to showcase the work of more of our volunteers and adopters, we may use only one photograph per owner/photographer as a monthly "featured" photo even if there were several of his/her shots receiving top vote counts. We also plan to feature several photographs for each month since there were so many good photos submitted. As in past years, we will also use as many photos as possible either featured or as thumbnails — past calendars have included well over 100 of the photos submitted for the contest. We are sure that you will be pleased with the finished product.

You will be able to order a calendar later this year when we get them back from the printer. We will send out an email letting you know when you can order 2027 calendars.

Thank you again for your support of BRAT and this project.
