To help celebrate the beginning of spring and the newness it brings, our latest reader-contributed photo contest is all about baby animals: your pet, someone else's pet or baby animals seen in the wild.

Submit your favorite baby animal photo to Your Photos at VictoriaAdvocate.com by 5 p.m. March 22. Be sure also to vote online for your favorite photos.

If your photo wins, you will receive a $250 gift certificate to Torin Bales Fine Jewelry. Be sure to provide caption information about the animal and your name and contact information.
