It is time again for the SCOA Photo Contest for the 2024 SCOA Calendar!

Thanks to all of you who submitted photos for this year’s calendar!  Now it’s time to prepare for our 2024 calendar. 

Our six 2024 photo categories reflect this year’s SCOA National theme, A Diamond in the Rough.  The theme was chosen because of West Virginia’s discovery of the largest North American diamond.  We think our Spinoni are the diamonds of all pointing breeds!

1. A Diamond in the Ruff Hunting in the field.
2. A Diamond in the Ruff Hunting in Water.
3. A Diamond in the Ruff Veterans and Puppies
4. A Diamond in the Ruff Enjoying Holidays & Celebrations
5. A Diamond in the Ruff Being Cute or Naughty
6. A Diamond in the Ruff Delighting in Nature or Outdoor Fun
