What is this all about?
This is a contest to find the most popular pooch in Tulare County. The winner will be the star of a pre-concert event next fall at Zumwalt Park in Tulare — receiving fame, good fortune and most importantly, some food.
How do you enter a dog?
Click here to set up your account, submit a digital picture of your dog, and tell the world what makes your dog so special. A donation of $50 will complete your entry.

How do you vote?
Each vote costs just $1, and there's no limit to the number of votes that anyone can place. We hope you'll encourage your friends, neighbors and colleagues to vote, too.
How is the top dog chosen?
The Great Concert Canine will be the dog that receives the most votes by Labor Day. The promotion ends at 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on Monday, September 7, 2009.
When is the big announcement?
The winner will be revealed Saturday, September 19, 2009, at the symphony's annual Pops in the Park Concert at Zumwalt Park in downtown Tulare. A picnic will begin at 5:30 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., we'll have a special pre-concert event called "Pups in the Park" honoring the top 10 dogs — followed by the big announcement. Then the concert will begin at 8 p.m.
What about prizes?
The Great Concert Canine will receive a formal outfit by Tula Bell Designs, "gourmet" goodies from Heiskell's Feed Depot, a trophy, and lots of publicity from local newshounds. Additional prizes will be provided by Akamaru Japanese Restaurant, Café 225, Henry Salazar's on Main Street, The Vintage Press and Zhou's restaurant.
How does the community benefit?
All donations will be made to the Tulare County Symphony, a non-profit organization. We'll give half of the proceeds from the voting to the Valley Oak SPCA.
The Tulare County Symphony will celebrate its 50th season in 2009-2010. Six performances are offered annually as entertainment, education, and enrichment for Tulare County residents, students and visitors. Information: (559) 732-8600.
