Shelley Short hosts a contest

MP3: Shelley Short - "A Cave"

Unlike the last contest we posted on this site, this one isn't affiliated with us whatsoever. However, we are fans of Shelley Short, so we thought we'd pass the word along about a contest she is having to win a limited edition vinyl copy of her new album, A Cave, A Canoo. Tour dates are after the jump, but the details are here:

Being a lover of all things adorable and/or fuzzy, Shelley opens her email everyday, hoping that friend or loved one has sent her a picture of a pet dressed in a wildly hilarious costume or embroiled in a similarly hysterical situation. Let’s just say some days are better than others. That’s why Shelley has announced a contest where the person who sends in the most knee-slappingly adorable photo of their pet will win a copy of said limited edition vinyl! The contest will be judged by Shelley herself, along with an esteemed panel of critter-cuteness connoisseurs. Please send all submissions to petportraits09@gmail.com. No animals should be harmed in the making of these pictures (obviously!). The winner will be announced October 1st, so make sure to get your pet portrait in before then.
