Moderncat is partnering with two other great design blogs, Design Milk and Mod-Dog, to bring you this awesome contest and your chance to win a Sleepypod! We’re looking for the ugliest pet bed out there. We figure the pet with the worst napping spot deserves something better, so we are going to do what we can to help.

To enter:

Send a photo of your pet’s ugly, gross, disgusting, hideous, gnarly pet bed OR the pathetic place your pet currently uses as a bed. Both cat and dog owners are welcome to enter. We want to see the yuckiest!

Design Milk, along with Moderncat and Mod-Dog will narrow the entries down to a select few. Readers of all three blogs will then vote on Design Milk to determine the First and Second Place winners. The winner will be announced in a future post on Design Milk.

Photos should be emailed to info@design-milk.com with subject line “Sleepypod Contest”.

Please note: Sleepypods are designed for pets 15lbs and under. We apologize, but large dogs are excluded from the contest. Maybe we will have another contest just for large dogs

Prize:

First Place winner: Your choice of one Sleepypod or Sleepypod mini in the color you prefer (subject to availability).

The Second Place winner will receive a print courtesy of Mod-Dog (examples below).

A Sleepypod is a pet carrier with a removable top so that it can easily be used as a pet bed (view demo). Sleepypods are designed to reduce stress on your pet when on-the-go. Learn more at Sleepypod.

Rules:

Contest begins on October 1, 2008 and ends on October 31, 2008. Voting will then occur. The winner will be announced no later than November 30th, 2008.

One entry per pet. If you have 5 pets per household that meet the criteria, then you can enter 5 times (once for each pet).

This contest is being made possible by Sleepypod, Design Milk, Mod-Dog, and Moderncat.
