Back by pup-ular demand, Bark Madness returns to Hudson Square this March! Our favorite neighborhood competition celebrates the dogs who make Hudson Square an even better place to walk, work, and wag.
From office pups to weekend sidewalk stars, dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds are invited to compete for the coveted title of Hudson Square’s Top Pup.. plus some tail-wagging prizes along the way.
And yes… there may be a very special guest judge involved this year!
HOW IT WORKS:
Step 1: APPLY
Submit your dog’s photo/video by March 10 using this application form. One photo per pup, please!
Step 2: Meet the Competitors
Selected pups will be featured on Hudson Square’s Instagram, where the community will vote through a series of head-to-head matchups on stories.
Step 3: Vote It Down
Over several rounds, votes will narrow the pack until only the top 4 contenders remain.
Step 4: The Final Decision + Red Carpet Walk (DATE: TBA)
The final round will include community votes and a Spring Street Plaza event of the Top Dog walking the carpet and receiving a crown from last year’s finalist!!
PRIZES:
- Top Dog: $200 toward any Hudson Square Business + Top Dog 2026 Bragging Rights
- Runner-ups (places 2, 3, 4): $50 each towards any Hudson Square Business
