In honor of our March 11 "Animal Issue," Seven Days is hosting the "Best of the Beasts" Pet Photo Contest, sponsored by Play Dog Play. We received hundreds of submissions, and selected five finalists in each of the six categories. Who will win? You decide! Voting Begins at 5 p.m. on Thursday, March 5 — a link to the ballot will appear on this page at that time. The polls close at noon on Monday, March 9. The winners will appear in the "Animal Issue," and all of the suitable entries will appear in a slideshow on the Seven Days website.

Thanks for voting! The polls have closed.
