2025 Pets Issue Photo Contest

Aug. 9, 2025

Our annual Pets issue is coming soon! As part of that issue, we create a collage of pet photos from readers. We invite you to send us photos of your best bud—cat, dog, horse, parrot, you name it—for a chance to see them featured in our Sept. 15 paper. You can be in the shot with your pet, or they can be the star of the show. Your submission must meet the following guidelines: 1) Send only one photo per pet. 2) The photo file size must fall between 150KB and 5MB. 3) Photos must be in color, not black and white. 4) Send your photo to info [at] northernexpress [dot] com with the subject line “Pet Issue Photo” and include your name, your NoMi city of residence, and the name of your pet. We will collect submissions through Sept. 7.
