Peninsula Daily News, Forks Forum and Sequim Gazette have come together to host this year’s Holiday Pet Photo Contest.

Give us your best shot of a festive furry friend and compete for some great prizes!

Wilder Auto has provided our first-prize gift, a Seahawks-themed dog bed with additional dog goodies.

McPhee’s Grocery, Port Angeles Papa Murphy’s Pizza and Fiesta Jalisco have all supplied $25 gift certificates.
