Pet photo exhibit
The College of Veterinary Medicine is accepting entries until Oct. 20 for its new Pet Photo Exhibit. The exhibit was inspired by the many touching stories from owners about their pets. Selected images are enlarged, framed and displayed in the lobby of the Small Animal Clinic for a minimum of three months.

There is no entry fee, and a separate form is required with each entry. Entries may be submitted as four-by-six-inch (or larger) glossy color prints, color slide or as high-resolution .JPG files on a CD.

Entry photos not selected for display are returned by request only when accompanied by a self-addressed, stamped envelope. If not returned, the photo will be reconsidered in the judging for the next photo exhibit, which has rolling deadlines.

The entry and release forms are ­online at www.vet.uga.edu/hospital/monday/PhotoContest_Entry_Form.pdf and www.vet.uga.edu/hospital/monday/PhotoContest_Release_Form.pdf.
