And with up to $50,000 up for grabs for one lucky competition winner, there's plenty of reason to cast your vote and play your part in choosing which greyhound clinches a spot in the lucrative $1.145m greyhound showpiece.

Entering is simple.

Read through the list of 10 possible greyhounds below, fill out the entry form and choose the one greyhound that you believe should represent NSW in The Phoenix. The greyhound with the most votes will be entered.

All competition entrants will then go into the running for a share of the prize money. If the GRNSW greyhound wins The Phoenix, you will take home $50,000 cash.

On top of the cash prizes on offer, the competition winner and a guest will be flown to Melbourne, with transfers and two nights' accommodation. They will then attend a VIP function trackside at The Meadows on December 18 to cheer on "The People's Pup" in the inaugural The Phoenix.
