MISAWA AB – Military shoppers can show off Santa’s little yelpers and enter for a chance to win a prize in the Misawa Army & Air Force Exchange Service’s holiday pet photo contest.

From Dec. 1 through Dec. 31, Misawa shoppers can visit the website to submit a photo of their pet dressed up in a holiday-themed costume for a chance to win a share of $3,000 in Exchange gift cards.

Two grand-prize winners will each receive a $500 Exchange gift card while eight runners-up will each earn a $250 Exchange gift card. Entries are limited to one per person.

“We know for many military families, pets are family,” said Misawa Exchange General Manager Michickia Carter. “We’re excited to help spread holiday cheer with this contest.”

The contest is sponsored by Mars Pet Care. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Exchange shoppers 18 and older are eligible to enter the contest. Retirees, honorably discharged Veterans, and Department of Defense and Coast Guard civilians may also enter. Winners will be notified no later than Jan. 19, 2024. Entries will be judged based on originality, creativity and appropriateness. Visit here for official rules.
