Furry friends have the opportunity to be featured on a wine bottle thanks to Orlando’s Pet Alliance and their 11th annual "My Best Friend Wine Label Contest" in partnership with Quantum Leap Winery. Pet parents can submit photos of their cats or dogs for a chance to have their beloved pet grace the label of the 2024 “My Best Friend Rescue Red Wine.”

Entries are accepted until July 31, with a $5 fee for each submission. Voting for the entries opens on August 1 and runs until August 24, with each vote requiring a $1 donation, which helps raise funds for the organization.

Steve Bardy, the executive director of Pet Alliance, expressed excitement over the contest, highlighting it as a wonderful way for pet owners to support their mission. "It’s always exciting to see proud pet parents showing off their adorable fur babies and seeing all the fun photos that come in," he noted.

The winning dog and cat will have their images, names, and stories featured on the wine label. Additionally, grand prize winners will receive a case of wine and a feature in Pet Alliance’s "Wags and Whiskers" newsletter. Runners-up in each category will also earn prizes, and all winners and their families will be invited to an event at Quantum Leap, the winery set to reopen this month at a new location on Lake Fairview.

Over the years, the contest has raised nearly $380,000, significantly aiding Pet Alliance, which provides shelter, medical care, and food assistance to over 3,500 homeless dogs and cats annually.

For those interested in participating, entries can be submitted through gogophotocontest.com/mybestfriend or directly at petallianceorlando.org.
