“We’ll post all the entries in the store and have a voting box for the customers,” explained Steve Briggs Jr. Customers can vote once in each category.

While there are limitations on entries and votes, there are none for the species of the animals in the photos. “We’re expecting dog and cat, but I’m sure we’ll get a lot of horse photos and livestock, too,” Briggs added.
