The 2012 Dog Poll Call for Submissions

Remember Toaster? He was our controversial 2011 winner.

It's our favorite time of the year: The coming of the 2012 Dog Poll, aka the Search for SF's Cutest Pup. After last year's ferocious competition for the title, we're hungry to heat things up even more. That's where you come in.

Send in the most adorable photo of your dog you can find (we want to be squealing out loud in our offices) and be sure to include his or her name, to pets@7x7.com. We're taking submissions until midnight, March 6. We'll put the Top 50 up on 7x7.com on March 8, all chosen by our editors. From there, it's up to you guys to vote for who should be crowned the winner.

Here's how our version of March Madness will go down:

March 8 - 50 finalists up for voting
March 15 - 25 finalists with the most votes
March 22 - 7 finalists with the most votes
April 2 - Winner Announced

And of course, there are prizes. In addition to the possibility of your dog becoming a local internet celeb, here's what you could win:

I now understand what I have always heard from local tastemakers - 7x7 hooks up their friends and friends of friends. All of this is rigged. This contest is clearly about who photographs their dog best, and who knows editors personally. Will never bother again for anything contest oriented on 7x7.
