Okay folks , it's time to kick off our second competition which is going to be a photo competition.
This one is going to be slightly different to the last one though , so here's the info.
Who can enter?
Anyone is welcome to participate as long as they are a member , from any country and also Moderators are very welcome to participate.
When does it start?
As soon as the catagory threads are up you can start entering.
When is the closing date?
Midnight Friday the 30th June 2006 , so there is plenty of time.
What are the Catagory's
The catagory's are as follows -
Snails (Aquatic)
Snails (Land)
Creatures (Any other Vivarium or Tank dweller NOT fish)
Fish (Self Explanitory)
Cuddlesome (Any other pet that doesn't fit the other cat's i.e dog or birds etc)
Other (This could be absolutely anything , a tree , a rock , a building , a seaside picture ... absolutely anything LOL)
Are there any rules?
Yes , the pictures you use must be your own , and the only other rule is that you may enter only one pic per catagory , you can enter all the catagory's but only once in each one. If after you have posted your entry and you want to change it then that is fine , just edit your original post and change the pic.
Are there prizes , are there?
Of course there is , unlike the last competition there will be only one prize per catagory , so one winner each catagory ... BUT ... the respective winners will then enter a grand final and an ultimate winner will be chosen. Prize details are -
Snails (Aquatic) - 500g mixed pellets or a £5 discount from InvertSupplies
Snails (Land) - 500g Snail Mix or £5 discount from InvertSupplies
Creatures - £5 discount from InvertSupplies
Fish - Some fish food & Dechlorinator or £5 discount from InvertSupplies
Cuddlesome - £5 discount from InvertSupplies or £5 via Pay Pal to buy said animal something nice.
Other - £5 discount from InvertSupplies
Ultimate Winner - Prize gets doubled i.e Snail Mix & £5 discount or just £10 discount etc etc.
How is this competition being judged?
Well I think you all know me well enough to be a fair judge so I'll judge the pictures , if I get stuck between a few pics in one catagory I shall enlist the help of my step daughter Vikki who did Photography at college. The things I will basically be looking at is -
Quality of picture as in Clarity
General Positioning of photgraphed Item i.e is it all there or has some been cut off etc
Uniqueability factor (I think I just made a new word lol)
And basic style
Is there anything else to know?
Ummmm no I think that about covers it I think , so yeah happy snapping ... lets see some winners
Cheers
