Wishingto catch a glimpse of the adorable pups...
In an exciting twist, the Lancaster Unleashed 2026 Como Lake Bark Park Calendar Contest invites dog owners to nominate their beloved pets for the coveted title of "Dog President." Here's everything you need to know about this unique event.
Starting from May 2021, Heiko Schulze, editor-in-chief of the Uckermark Kurier, became a proud parent to Sally, a mixed breed dog with parents from the Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd families. Sally was adopted from a 'Welpenschau' on a four-sided farm with various animals.
The contest, open until August 10, 2025, invites participants to submit a photo of their dog online for a $5 entry fee. Family, friends, and supporters can then vote by donating $1 per vote online. Each donation counts as one vote, and the dogs with the top 13 highest numbers of votes will each be featured in a month in the 2026 calendar.
While the title of "Dog President" isn't explicitly mentioned on the website, the top vote-getter or top dogs may receive special recognition or feature status. All candidates for the dog president position are presented visually on the contest website, and alternative nominations and votes can be sent by mail or by scanning the provided QR code.
It's important to note that reporters are excluded from participating in the contest with their dogs. The Dog President website updates regularly to show all candidates, and every participant, whether with a dog or not, will receive a 25% discount voucher for Tassendruck.de.
The purpose of the contest is to raise funds for the Como Lake Bark Park improvements, making it more dog and people-friendly. The winner of the action will receive a presidential outfit worth 100 euros.
The responses from other dog owners have been enthusiastic when asked about the responsibility of owning a dog. Many reporters have experienced the enrichment of life with dogs and have shared their experiences, sparking a response from readers.
For those interested in nominating their dogs or voting for their favourites, they can visit the Lancaster Unleashed contest website before the August 10 deadline. A separate photo contest is also being held for the 'Bellwau' castle with attractive prize chances.
In the spirit of enriching lifestyles, Heiko Schulze, a home-and-garden enthusiast, adopted a pet, Sally, adding to his family on a farm filled with various animals. As the Dog President Contest progresses, pet lovers can nominate their pets by submitting a photo for a chance to be featured in the 2026 Como Lake Bark Park Calendar, with the top 13 pets receiving monthly recognition. These nominations can be made online or by mail, and supporters can vote for their favorites by donating $1 per vote.
