Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit another picture or is it just a one time thing?

You may enter a new photo every quarter!

Confirmation ID? I don't remember or didn't get a confirmation ID.

It may have gotten trapped in your spam filter. You might try looking there. If you don't find it, please contact us.

Once I submit a picture to CutestPetContest.com how long does it take to be able to view it.

You should be able to view your image within 10 minutes. If you cannot, then your image was probably not saved correctly. Please try to enter again.

The writing next to the boxes where you enter all the information is too small to read. It needs to be bigger.

You can change the size of the text on the site to suit you by clicking 'View' at the top of your browser and then pointing your mouse to 'Text Size' in the 'View' dropdown menu. This will give you options for increasing or decreasing the size of the text on all the websites that you visit.

What types of image files can I submit?

We can accept your photo in JPEG(.jpg), Bitmap(.bmp) or PNG(.png) format.

Where is my photo/entry?

If you can't find your entry or photo using the search form using your name or your confirmation number, then your image was probably not saved correctly. You may need to enter again.

Why aren't there more questions and answers on this page?

Because we are waiting to hear from you! Drop us a line at admin@cutestpetcontest.com if you have a question that we don't have answered on this page.

Why can't I submit a photo in a format other than .jpg, .png or .bmp?

We are unable to accept other file types for almost as many reasons as there are other file types! Some of them are very large, some are not web-compatible, some are proprietary. If you cannot get your image in one of our preferred digital file types, you might try a photo manipulation program or mail in your entry.

Why couldn't I complete my entry? finish my upload? find my lastname or confirmation id?

We are sorry for the trouble some of our customers had during the transition to our new site. We are constantly working to make improvements and corrections. If you ran into trouble with our site previously, please try again.

Why is this site so slow?

Images take a long time to download. The bigger the image, the longer it takes. The slower your ISP, the longer it takes.

Because we are accepting image uploads from entrants, we have no real control over the size of those images.

We promise that we have done everything possible to have the fastest site we can. Thanks for your patience!
