Earlier this summer, the Central Park Conservancy opened up a contest for dog owners to submit photos of their furry friends posing and romping around in Central Park for a chance of being featured in the 2019 Central Bark calendar, which highlights the most adorable canines in some of the most iconic New York locations. Winners will receive bragging rights, a copy of the Central Bark calendar, and a free Gardener-level Membership to the Central Park Conservancy. The top contenders have been chosen and now you can vote here for your favorites, up to 13. Trust us, these dogs are super cute and all of them look ready for the spotlight- good luck choosing your favorites!
