TulsaPets Magazine May 2021

8 TulsaPets • May/June 2021 Annual Cutest Pet Contest 2021 Winners F or the past 20 years, Studio D Photography’s annual Cutest Pet Contest has been raising proceeds for the Tulsa SPCA. Come pandemic or arctic tundra, nothing could stop them from holding this year’s contest, which took place throughout January and February. Where there’s a will (and a good cause), there’s a way! For a $15 donation to the Tulsa SPCA, participants received a free sitting and 5x7 portrait of their pet. Despite this year’s challenges, Studio D and generous participants still managed to raised $355 for animals in need. While we already know Tulsa has the cutest pets around, this annual contest continues to solidify that fact year after year. Choosing the winners was an extremely hard decision for judges Alyssa Smythe, SPCA development communica- tions manager, and Marilyn King, publisher of TulsaPets Magazine. Each picture seemed cuter than the next. Nonetheless, after much deliberation, the winners were chosen! Let’s give a big congratulations to the winners and a heartfelt thank you to Studio D Photogra- phy. We look forward to next year’s contest to pick Tulsa’s cutest pet!
