Worst in Show, a new documentary by John Beck and Don R. Lewis, tells the story of the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest.
For 23-years, festival organizers in Petaluma, California have celebrated two-inch doggy under bites, hairless mutts, and all other sorts of things that make freakish-looking dogs adorable(ish).
In celebration the Tempe premiere of Worst in Show, we’re tossing caution to the wind and hosting our first online pet/pet owner look-alike contest.
More details after the jump …
When news happens, Phoenix New Times is there —
Your support strengthens our coverage.
We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.
A screening of Worst in Show will take place this Saturday, June 11, at the Madcap Theater in Tempe at 7 p.m.. Moviegoers are encouraged to bring their ugly dogs for prizes and, um, pride.
Our contest is open to anyone who looks like his or her pet — dog, cat, beta fish, rattlesnake, whatever.
To enter, simply e-mail pictures of you and your pet to Victor.Gonzalez@newtimes.com, we’ll toss it on the site with a fancy, non-scientific polling widget, and let the readers pick the winner (or wieners if there’re any dachshunds).
The winner will get a bunch of Jackalope Ranch stickers, a chew toy (or comparable pet-specific toy), and one or more knick-knacks that will remind you of us.
