For example, a simple bowl or container with no dispensing, control, or pet-focused design features. - Models detached from the core contest theme. For example, pet toys, accessories, or decorations that do not involve feeding or food interaction. - Weakly-related entries that attempt to βFORCEβ a theme connection through superficial elements like color, texture, or shape.
