Please read and follow these guidelines to feature your dog on their own World's Best Doggy webpage. You can submit any dog that is a member of your immediate family. You can also submit any doggys who have crossed over the rainbow bridge, as long as you have three photos of them to submit.
Essential Components
– Your dog's name.
– Three photos of your dog.
– A description of your dog, three to five sentences long.
– Ideal webpage names.
– Legal Name and Mailing address for book contract (optional).
1. Dog's Name
Your dog's name.
2. Three Photos
Submit three photos of your dog that you have personally taken, or were taken by a member of the dog's immediate family.
These should be photos that you think represent your dog's personality, have meaning to you, or just look nice.
Three photos from a smartphone or three images of scanned photos are totally acceptable.
3. Short Description
Although a novel could be written about how incredible your dog is, try to write three to five sentences about what a great dog they are.
You can describe your dog's awesomeness, say why you love them so much, or anything else that has meaning to you.
4. Ideal Webpage Name
Pick the webpage name you want for your dog's World's Best Doggy page, maximum 40 letters and numbers.
The names should be the dog's name followed by a short descrption of two or three words.
The words could relate to the dog's traits, nicknames, or location.
Please do not submit any words that you use as passwords.
For example, my dog, Cooper, can be found at worldsbestdoggy.com/coopertheprince.
Some options for Cooper's webpage:
– coopertheprince
– cooperfromnanaimo
– cooperthewildman
Since this publication is fairly new, you will probably get your first choice of webpage name.
5.A. Legal Name and Mailing Address for Book Contract (Optional)
This website is to celebrate the doggys. However if it ever becomes Internet-famous, maybe we could publish a nice coffee table book with our doggys.
If a book is published, royalties will be paid to contributors.
To make a royalty contract, you have to submit your legal name and mailing address.
If you want to be included in a future possible print book, skip the next step, 5.B., and continue to step 5.C.
If you are okay with just featuring your dog on a webpage only, proceed to step 5.B.
5.B. Just Webpage, No Book
If you are happy with just featuring your doggy on a webpage and you do not want to be included in a possible printed book in the future,
compile your submission into an email, including components 1, 2, 3, and 4 as described above.
1. Dog's Name.
2. Three Photos.
3. Short Description.
4. Ideal Webpage.
Compile the components into an email and send to worldsbestdoggy@gmail.com.
5.C. Webpage AND Book – Royalties
To feature your doggy on a webpage and also be considered for inclusion in a future printed book, include your legal name and complete mailing address.
If the book is printed and sold, contributors will receive a 20% royalty on all print sales, shared equally among all contributors.
(FYI: When my poetry book was published by a prominent independent publisher, they gave me 10%).
Please note that this does not guarantee that a book will be published, or that your dog will be included,
as other factors may come into play at that time, such as image quality.
Compile your submission into an email including components 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 as described above.
1. Dog's Name.
2. Three Photos.
3. Short Description.
4. Ideal Webpage.

Your submission will be seen as agreement to these terms.
