Photo Contest: Dogs
The FIUTS Photo Contest is a weekly opportunity for members of the FIUTS community to share images from around the world. The theme for this week was "dogs.” Since last Friday, we received photos of eight happy dogs by photographers from Australia, Taiwan, Colombia, China, and the United States.
There were many great submissions and it was difficult for the FIUTS Staff to choose just three winners! Thank you to everyone for sharing your pictures - continue on to see photo entries and contest winners…
1ST PLACE
“Gingersnap and a little crab shell from her first visit to cannon beach in Oregon.”
Carolyn N. Christensen // Hometown: Woodinville, Washington
2ND PLACE
“This is my German Shepard puppy named Dash. It was when we gave her a new toy around Christmas time! She loves being with people.”
Melany Smart // Hometown: Perth, Australia
3RD PLACE
“This is Mina! She is 4 years old and currently lives in Seattle’s Roosevelt neighborhood. She spends most of the time either chasing rabbits and squirrels, or day dreaming on the couch. Occasionally she enjoys sitting on our lawn and getting baked by the sun. The photo was taken in our house while she posted for me so that I could take a nice pic of her!”
Hengyang Zhi // Hometown: Nanjing, China
HERE ARE ALL OF THE INCREDIBLE SUBMISSIONS WE RECEIVED - ORDERED RANDOMLY. THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE FIUTS PHOTO CONTEST!
- We are excited to reveal next week’s theme at the end of this blog -
“This is Biscuit and he’s five years old. He’s my best friend’s pug. He’s overweight but he’s currently on a diet. He loves to sleep and he’s a smart & cute dog!”
Tiffany Cheng // Hometown: Taipei, Taiwan
“This is the photo of my dog Niuniu and it's taken in China. The story can be described as "when you are holding his favorite snack.” My dog's name is "Niuniu", which means "bull" in Chinese. The reason why we gave him this name is because we want him to be as strong as a bull since he was tiny and weak when he first came to my family. (Actually, the most important reason is because my mother wanted the stock market to be the "bull market" as she was speculating in the stock market at that time).”
Peggy Peiyao Zhao // Hometown: Hangzhou, China
“Flynn the big red (toy poodle) dog.”
Alexandra Dalzell // Hometown: Los Gatos, California, USA
“This is Luka, our new puppy; a perfect and furry company these days! 😍 The photo was taken the first day he came to our home.”
Melina Garzon Arbelaez // Hometown: Seattle, WA, USA
“This is Tomas, my boyfriend's dog. Tomas is a mix of many dog breeds and is filled with a lot of love.”
Juliana Fernandez // Hometown: Envigado, Colombia
