The rules for the contest are at animal.discovery.com.
Here are the steps they list to enter the contest:
1. Find (or take) a picture to submit of a puppy or baby no more than 18 months old at the time the picture is taken. This means you can submit pictures take a number of years ago. The complete rules for what pictures are eligible for entry can be found here.
2. Submit the photo with your information (and a bit about the subject in the picture) on the contests main page.
3. Vote on October 22 – the votes will determine a top baby and a top puppy to compete in the championship round.
The baby and puppy that make it that far will get $5000!

I wish that I had pictures of one of the two to enter, but I have only ever had one puppy and he hated having his picture taken. I look forward to seeing all the pictures – and to see which make it to the final round.
