Cutest Cat Contest Entry Deadline is Today

Entries for the contest are coming in at a steady pace, but I don't want anyone to be disappointed by having waited too long. The deadline is tonight at midnight ET. To save last minute back-and-forth emails, here are a couple of reminders:

1. Kitten photos are not eligible for this contest. Entry photos must be of cats at least 12 months old. If your cat is an adult, but looks much younger, it would help if you would mention his/her age in your entry.
2. ONE cat per photo, please. The contest is for "cutest cat," not "cutest cats."
3. Include your full name and desired copyright attribution. I've found through experience that email addresses are not always indicators of your name.

I'll be spending the remainder of this week uploading photos to the Cutest Cat Contest Picture Gallery. As soon as it is finalized, our panel of judges will complete their selections of the 12 semi-finalists. At that time, the semi-finalists, their friends, families, and fans, will be given the opportunity to "schmooze" the voters by posting "vote for my cat because..." in a form attached to the gallery of semi-finalists.

In the meantime, get your photos in to me today, then relax and enjoy the cutest cat gallery.
