WORLDWIDE SEARCH LAUNCHED FOR INTERNATIONAL

DO YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR DOG CONTEST SPONSORS

 

BOOK PUBLISHED BY RANDOM HOUSE IN JANUARY 2004 IN PRODUCTION;  

TV GAME/REALITY SHOW IN DEVELOPMENT WITH LA AREA PRODUCER

 

Contest Deadline December 1; Search on for Book #2

 

Now that the Do You Look Like Your Dog book to be published by Broadway Books/Random House in January 2004 is in production and the worldwide photo search is over, a new search is on – for sponsors to offer additional prizes for the winners and entrants for the 1st International Do You Look Like Your Dog Contest.  Winners will be announced in January when the Do You Look Like Your Dog book is published, and the deadline for entries is December 1.  

Now sponsors are simply asked to pledge their prizes to be awarded at a gala celebration to announce the winners.   Before then, their prizes will be featured on the Do You Look Like Your Dog website, along with information about the sponsors and links to their sites.   So far, the Contest has started lining up pledges from manufacturers of dog phones (Earthvision Cellular), dog beds (PetBedsbyGus), travel homes for dogs (Stiles Enterprises), dog books, and many others.  These prizes are being added to the initial cash prizes of $4000 that launched the contest.  Judges from the dog world and the media are being contacted to decide the winners and will be announced shortly.

Meanwhile, the number of entrants in the contest is growing -- over 500 entries from all over the world, including the U.K., New Zealand, Italy, Israel, and Canada.  The site now gets about 4000 hits a day and is linked to over 500 other sites.   And all the photos in the contest are being considered for the second Do You Look Like Your Dog book.    

Interest in the TV game and reality show co-produced with Eleventh Day Entertainment, based in Encino, California, is growing, too.  The show combines elements of a real dog show into an amusing mix of look-alike human and dog competitions.  As in a dog show, both the owners and their dogs will compete in a series of obedience, agility, and intelligence trials, as well as in a variety of off-the-wall competitions featured at local dog events, such as making the strangest sound for a dog, being the most athletic pair, and showing off the best buns.  Previously Eleventh Day Entertainment has created numerous award-winning network and cable TV shows, including CBS’s 50th Anniversary Special, TNT’s Emmy Award-winning mini-series, and MGM’s When the Lion Roars. 

So if you think you look like your dog or know who someone who does, you’re invited to send in your photo by December 1 to be entered in the 1st annual competition. Send photos to photos@doyoulooklikeyourdog.com or mail to Do You Look Like Your Dog, 6114 La Salle Avenue, #358, Oakland, CA 94611.  And if you would like to offer a dog-related prize to the winners or entrants and be featured on the site, you’re invited to become an affiliate or sponsor.  You’ll see details about pledging your prize on the Do You Look Like Your Dog site.
