Vero's Best Cat Photo Contest is Underway

The cats are back. Vero's Best Cat Photo Contest is open on Vero Vine, and it runs all of November.

Snap your best shot of your cat, enter it, then rally your friends to vote. Every cat in the gallery can get a vote from each person once a day, so the cats with the most fans climb the leaderboard.

Key dates

Entries and voting: November 1 to November 30, 2026 (closes 11:59 pm Eastern)
Winners announced: on or about Thursday, December 3, 2026

How to enter

Go to the contest page and upload a photo of your cat with the entry form.
You can enter up to 3 photos.
It has to be a photo you took yourself, of a real cat. No photos from the internet, stock photos, AI images or heavy edits.
You must be 18 or older. Every entry is reviewed before it shows up in the gallery.

How voting works

Confirm your email once, then vote once a day for every cat you love.
Anyone can vote. Prizes are for residents of Indian River, Brevard, St. Lucie and Martin counties.
The leaderboard goes dark for the final 48 hours, so nobody knows the final order until the end.

How winners are picked

The 10 cats with the most valid votes when voting closes become finalists. Vero Vine then picks 1st, 2nd and 3rd place from those finalists, looking at votes along with photo quality and creativity.

Prizes

1st place: $100 Amazon gift card
2nd place: $50 Amazon gift card
3rd place: $25 Amazon gift card

Prizes are sponsored by Vero Beach Marketing.
