April 23, 2024How are LoveCATS’ photobooks made?
LoveCATS’ photo book is an exclusive product, unique and personalized, that you won’t be able to find anywhere else on the worldwide web.
Our photo book is made in collaboration with cat people from all over the world who have adorable kitties and great photography skills, and that’s what makes the final product so personal and unique.
So, when that great photo you took of your cat wins a spot in our photobook, it instantly becomes a memento that will last a lifetime!
CREATIVIY AND ORIGINALITY
In our eyes, all cats are beautiful so deciding which cat should win our photo competition is never an easy task.
Nevertheless, winning a spot in our book (or calendar) does not just depend on how beautiful your cat is.
Other parameters such as quality, creativity and originality play a very important part when it comes to selecting the winning entries that will make the photo book.
PRE-SELECTION
When we receive your entries, we run them through a special software that tell us whether they meet the requirements or not.
Sometimes, if the photo submitted is truly artistic but the entry doesn’t meet the requirements, we email the participants and ask them to submit the same entry again in a higher resolution.

As we approach the deadline date of our photo competition, we start preselecting photos that have been validated by our designers and confirmed by the bookmaking software.
FINAL CUT
Every year, hundreds of cats from all over the world participate in our photo contest so after the first pre-selection round is done, we must narrow down the number of entries and pick the ones that will make the final cut.
We then check the emails that correspond to the photos chosen, and check the information (name, age, rescue story, etc.) as well as the owner’s authorization to make use the photos submitted.
MAKING THE BOOK
Once we have the final cut, the design process begins.
Some photos are perfect just the way they are but some need to be cropped or enhanced a little.

Once all the winning entries are uploaded onto the bookmaking software, we add the information provided to each entry which makes the final product exclusive, personalized and unique.
FINAL PRODUCT
Website admins and designers take a vote and the most beautiful, creative and original entry makes the cover while the rest of winning entries make the book inside pages in no specific order.
