Pet Alliance kicks off Orlando’s Cutest Pet Photo Contest: The 13th “My Best Friend Wine Label Contest”

Enter now for the chance to make your furry friend famous as the model for the 2026 My Best Friend Wine.

Pet Alliance, Central Florida’s “go-to” pet experts, is excited to announce the official kickoff of the popular, annual pet photo contest: The 13th Annual “My Best Friend Wine Label Contest”. 

In partnership with Quantum Leap Winery, the photo contest gives proud pet parents the chance to make their furry family member famous as the model on a wine label. Entries are being accepted now through July 19, 2026 at www.gogophotocontest.com/mybestfriend. 

Voting will open between July 20 through August 2, 2026 with a $1 donation per vote. 

The dog and cat with the most votes will have their image, name and short story featured on the wine label for the 2026 My Best Friend Rescue Red Wine produced by Quantum Leap Winery available at www.QuantumLeapWinery.com. 

The top 10 pets in each category will receive pawsome prizes as well.  All proceeds from the photo contest and the sale of the wine benefit Pet Alliance to shelter pets in need.  Pet Alliance has raised a total of $450,000 from the contest.

“Every pet has a story worth celebrating, and the My Best Friend Wine Label Contest gives our community the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the furry family members they love, while helping pets who are still waiting for their furever homes,” says Pet Alliance Interim Executive Director Lindsay Framstead .  “The winning dogs and cats earn a place on a wine bottle, but every participant is making a meaningful difference by supporting the lifesaving care, shelter and resources Pet Alliance provides to animals in need.  We can’t wait to see this year’s adorable contenders and their proud pet parents go all out to take home the top prize.”
