B&T Competitions
This year, Black & Tan Magazine is excited to add a little twist to our annual photo contest with the launch of a fun social media competition designed to promote our breeds while celebrating everything we love about them! Taking part is simple and fun, all you have to do is explain to the world why you love Manchester Terriers/English Toy Terriers by expanding on the phrase:
“My Manchester Terrier is…” or “My English Toy Terrier is…”
Here are a few simple ways to enter:
Photo Captions
Pick a funny, interesting or inspiring photo of your dog(s) and use the phrase above to create an interesting caption (follow the ‘…’ with whatever you think best describes the photo or the reasons you love the breed). Keep it short – 10 words should do it – and be sure to include a link to your national breed club’s website!
Graphics and Memes
Make a simple graphic like those below (click to view larger). If you don’t have editing software, simple captions can be added to photos for free at http://zipmeme.com/generator/ or http://wigflip.com/roflbot/
