Dogapalooza

Dogapalooza began as part of a dog-themed art exhibition at OMAM in 2012, and has grown to become an annual dog-friendly festival with a focus on raising money for local animal charities. Reimagined to keep everyone healthy and safe, Dogapalooza 2021 featured an online photo costume contest for both dogs AND cats!


People's Choice Dog Division Winners

1st Place: Evie
291 VOTES

Evie likes to think she is a Volusia County lifeguard. When her human siblings are swimming, she's always on alert -- barking and jumping as they splash and go underwater. Nothing will happen on Evie's watch!


People's Choice: Cat Division Winner

1st Place: Miss Peanut
100 VOTES


Celebrity Judge's Honorable Mentions:

Honorable Mentions will receive a voucher for a Donnie’s Donuts 4-pack (plain so it’s safe for the doggies to eat too) and some Starbucks merchandise!
