Contest Details
PETA Kids’ All-Star for Animals Contest will be conducted in two rounds: nominations and an interview process. Entrants are welcome only during the nominating round.
PETA Kids will consider the nominee’s enthusiasm and action for animal rights as demonstrated by the responses to the entry questions and any interview.
Nominations end at 12 noon ET on August 12th, 2026. The winner(s) will be notified and featured on the PETA Kids website by 12 noon ET on August 25th 2026.
Other contest guidelines include the following:
- The entrants must be vegan and not eat, wear, or use anything made from animals.
- Photos must feature only the entrant and must be appropriate and in focus. Please don’t submit fuzzy or out-of-focus images, screenshots of images, or images that use a filter of any sort—we want to see the entrants’ faces! By submitting a photo, you agree that you own it or have the right to reproduce it and that you’re permitting PETA Kids to use it.
- Photos shouldn’t show entrants holding exotic animals or insects. We discourage them from capturing frogs, worms, butterflies, and other wild animals. While an entrant may have the best of intentions in doing so, these intentions may not be clear to the viewer.
- This contest is open to entrants ages 12 and under.
- Entrants shouldn’t be celebrities. If your child has won your hometown’s beauty pageant or has a social media following, they still qualify. But if your child regularly appears in advertisements, we respectfully ask that they step out of the spotlight for this contest.
- Because PETA can’t vet all shelters, sanctuaries, and other facilities, their names may be removed.
- No purchase necessary. Void where prohibited by law. Open to U.S. residents only.
