*** Please Read and Share this page***

Zimmy Dog Ozi Ozi Ozi Our Aussie Dog Photo competition was a great success... even if you just look at it from the point of view that it got people interacting and having fun with their dogs on Australia Day.

All you had to do was to take a photo of yourself and/or your dog with an Australian theme to it, and follow the instructions on our contest page for a chance to win a prize for your dog! It just makes the holiday even better!

There was no right or wrong... We didn't assign points or score the number of things in a photo... And there were no 'likes' and 'comments' to get... We just wanted to see some dogs loving the experience and owners enjoying time with their dogs.

We noticed that there were 3 "styles" of images that came through and so tried to give a prize to someone in each style. (*Thanks to Donna and Zimmy Dog for letting us use this mascot image :)

1. Those who set the scene

One set of images revolved around setting up a scene with lots of Australiana - this was fantastic and we can see heaps of effort went into all the images. We went with quite a natural setting and really loved the dog's expression in the photo.

2. The individual dog and some Aussie 'ism'

Maate... This group was showing off their dogs with some Australian theme or item - they kept it simple and easy and really captured their dogs being Aussie... Well done. We couldn't go past a Healer running across the park with an Aussie flag in his mouth.

3. The owner with their dog.

Well done to those who got involved with their dogs in the images. The one we picked had a real natural feel about it and showed the owner interacting with their dog (actually getting ready for a photo)

3 Winners have been picked to win a Deluxe Aussie Dog Gift Hamper and a Dog Cooling MatSkip below to see all the contestants and find out who won!

The contest started midnight on January 25th and ended midnight on January 26th. All contestants who posted their photos on the contest event page or on our page and added the 'hashtag'#thedogline were entered into the event.

"Sausage Dog and a few of his 'Australiana' friends having a few Aussie Brews and getting into the music of Triple Js Hottest 100 !!" #thedogline

We liked this one because it seemed quite natural. A lot to do with Australia and the dog is obviously enjoying himself. Of the ones that were set up with props, we thought this should merit a prize. It feels like a very natural Aussie environment, especially the quirky Triple J Hottest 100 flag. Good on ya!
 

Well Done Julia

"This is my foster dog Strawberry a true Aussie breed running off with the flag loving her freedom as we all do living in Australia. #thedogline

Really love how natural this is. Nothing more Aussie than a cattle dog running freely with an Australian flag in his mouth. It definitely gives the photo a patriotic feel. Of the individual dog entries, we picked this one which really signified Australia.

Great Job Tracey

"Wanted to get a cooler photo of Hollee doing something typically Australian but somebody got this pic of Hollee with me while watching the tennis over lunch and thought I'd put this in #thedogline"

Of all the people that were in the photo with their dogs, we thought this one was very nice and relaxed. It shows a lot of compassion between the owner and the dog. Great to see an owner with her dog relaxing on Australia Day.
