According to the post:

"F.A. Peabody Insurance will donate $1 to HSWA for every photo submission!"

F.A. Peabody will donate $1 to the shelter for each photo submitted on it's behalf. When they have more than 25 photo submissions, they'll double that donation to $2. So the more people who submit, the more money the shelter makes.

" The photo with the most likes will win an additional $100 for the selected shelter. Winning pets of our previous Pet Photo Contests will be excluded, in order to give others a chance to win. All shelters will receive a $1.00 donation for each entry on their behalf regardless of which photo wins. There will be a maximum donation of $350 per shelter."
