You can do so at the Beauty Contest Board.

Etiquette:
1. Do NOT participate in vote trades because this is considered cheating AND you may be disqualified and/or frozen.
2. Don't try to spam (meaning creating many topic to gain attention).

What size should it be?
The best size is around 150 by 150 pixels (this is the same as most of the pictures on the site). Most paint programs have the option to resize your working area.

To make it easier for people to browse the pets, please make sure that the images you create are less than 17 kilobytes.
