Art of Rescue
Enter Art of Rescue
The Art of Rescue is more than a contest—it’s a movement to share the stories that matter most. Every day, rescue dogs are given second chances, and through your creativity, those stories can be seen, felt, and remembered.
We invite artists, photographers, and dog lovers of all ages and skill levels to participate and bring their unique vision of rescue to life.
✨ Important: Every submission must include a rescue pet in the design.
Your artwork helps raise awareness, celebrate the bond between dogs and their humans, and supports the life-saving work of animal rescue. Select pieces may be featured on NWBR merchandise, social media, and future campaigns—allowing your art to make an impact far beyond the canvas.
Before submitting, please take a moment to review our Terms & Conditions below for full details on eligibility, usage, and submission guidelines.
