How to Enter: submit an essay telling why your pet deserves to be named GMA’s Pet of the Year, of no more than one hundred words in length.

Judging Criteria: On the basis of potential for on-air appeal, compelling nature of story, overall readability of essay, creativity and enthusiasm.
Up to ten finalists will be asked to appear on GMA as a “Finalist”, with their pets, for the announcement of the winner! Exact number of Finalists may vary and is subject to Sponsors’ sole discretion.
Each Finalist, one guest and the Finalist’s pet will be flown to New York City to appear on GMA. All travel itineraries and taping dates will be determined by Sponsor, in its sole discretion. Finalists will need to be available to travel to the GMA studios in New York, NY on the dates designated by Sponsor (currently the week of November 18, 2019).
Pet-friendly hotel accommodations for one night (standard room based on double occupancy) will be provided for the Finalist and guest for the applicable segment taping. If, in the judgment of Sponsor, air travel and hotel is not required due to Finalist’s proximity to New York City, ground transportation may be substituted for roundtrip air travel at Sponsor’s sole and absolute discretion and no hotel stay will be provided.

In order to qualify for travel, your pet must be of a breed and size permitted to travel via standard airlines or be permitted to fly as a registered service or support animal. Finalists shall be solely responsible for any necessary registrations, vaccinations, medications, travel containers or other requirements necessary for pet’s travel.
