The American Kennel Club and Eukanuba are pleased to launch the annual commemorative poster competition in which artists are encouraged to submit an original two-dimensional painting or drawing celebrating the theme: "The Wonderful World of Purebred Dogs." The poster will commemorate the eighth annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship where 2,500 top dogs from 50 states and 52 countries compete for $225,000 and one of the biggest honors in the dog world. The theme of the artwork may incorporate a variety of images depicting the best in purebred dogs including, but not limited to: illustrations of human/canine bond, AKC events, colorful expressions of the intensity of the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, images of people and purebreds in action, past winners and the event’s setting. In conjunction with the theme, submissions should include multiple breeds. The grand prize winner will receive $1,000 and a four-day/three-night trip for two to the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Long Beach, California December 13-14 (including airfare and hotel).
