Music? Cranked. Confetti cannons? Loaded. The most wonderful time of the year is officially here!
The 11th annual Little Rock Soirée Cutest Dog Contest, our eternal quest for the most adorable pup in the metro, begins here and now. All you have to do is submit the most aww-inducing photo you have of your beloved furry friend before noon this Friday, June 13.
The winning canine will be showered with online glory, receive a paw-some Soirée prize package and a feature in our September issue. (Check out the editorial debut of 2024 winner Alex!)
Once submissions close, Team Soirée will have the near-impossible job of narrowing them down, but from there, it’s up to you to crown Little Rock’s cutest dog.
Now let’s see those pups!

» No photo submissions smaller than 660 x 440 pixels.
» Photos must accurately reflect the dog’s current state (i.e. don’t submit a young photo of your senior dog).
