Entries for the contest are closed.

This is a bracket style contest with local area pets that were submitted by readers of Orléans Connect to the Pets of Orléans weekly feature.

There are 2 categories: Dogs and Cats. The brackets posted below will be updated as winners emerge from each pairing.

For the purposes of determining 3rd - 10th place winners, playoff brackets will be posted for voting.

Due to the nature of bracket-style contests, we have limited the number of entries in each category. Any contest submissions that were submitted after the closing of entries will be admitted to a future edition of the contest.

All entries and positions in the bracket were selected by random draw using a random-number generator.

Due to the limited # of entries in the Cats category, some submissions have received a random bye in the first round. These selections were selected by random draw using a random-number generator.

This contest is open to Canadian residents who are 18 years of age or older (residents of Quebec are not eligible).

The contest will run for the length of time required to complete voting of each bracket.

Winners will be announced in the Orléans Connect newsletter, on this webpage and through our social media channels on Instagram and Facebook.
