Contest theme for June 2007: “Blue-Tongue Hobbies” Deadline to submit pictures: by Sunday morning, July 22nd

New rules please, please read the following submission guidelines!!! Following the rules can make the difference between me spending 10 minutes or over an hour putting the contest together.

Submission info
1. Email only (do not post or pm your entry) to Kelly at: herpcharmer@iquest.net You will receive a confirmation email once your entry is received
2. Please resize your pictures to no larger than 640x480 before submitting to me. It is still best to take your picture at the largest size you can – if your picture wins we will need the larger size to put in the calendar.
3. Include in the email your forum name, bluey name and a short title (title optional)

Rules
· Contest is open to all members of the forum.
· The member submitting the picture must own the bluey pictured.
· Only 1 entry per member each month. One entry per bluey each month
· For members that own 3 or more blueys, each bluey is only allowed to win 1 time a year. For members that own only 1 or 2 blueys, each bluey may each win no more than 2 times a year (different picture). After that they may no longer enter until the New Year begins. They may still participate by posting pics fitting the theme in the contest announcement thread, but their picture(s) will not be included in the contest voting.
· No commentary or photo editing (unless the particular contest theme allows for it in the rules) such as adding images/wording, altering colors, etc.

Prize
The winning entry will entitle the winner to receive their picture on a magnet (courtesy of Zach. The winning picture will also be shown on the main page of this website and featured in the 2008 BTS.net calendar (1st place pic will be the large/main picture with 2nd & 3rd place winners will appear as smaller inset pictures).

Post any questions/comments about the theme in this thread, but do not post your entry. All eligible submissions will be posted with a voting poll (yes, you can vote for yourself) within a day or two of the submission deadline.

* Also feel free to email any contest theme ideas you may have – no matter how crazy!

Notice it is now required that you resize pics again. I changed my account level at Photobucket and with the new level it does not autosize things for me.

Kelly, an idea...what about just having the person upload the picture through UploadPic on here? It auto-resizes....not sure if it's too small though, or if the watermark would affect the look of the shot negatively for the contest.

The upload feature doesn't work for everyone and I wouldn't want to have the water mark in the calendar...it can sometimes detract from the photo and I'd either have to crop it out or photoshop it out....both ways equals more work for me and I'm too lazy for that.

Ooooh yeah -- I was thinking they would send in the original instead of the re-size, but not everyone would keep the original perhaps...

Well, I'll probably have to submit an oldie again. Santos & Ralphie are up a couple of hours in the day because it's so warm, but haven't seen Jubby for about 3 or 4 weeks now.

Hopefully I'll send in the right one this time :doh:

Good-bye, Jubby. :cry:

I think you've picked the wrong book up Lisa, haa haaa haaaa

Posted: **Thu Jul 05, 2007 8:41 pm**

There's only one book worth having in the bedroom, and it starts with a K :wink:

Mind you, if Jubby came out with even so much as a 'right back at ya' when I touched him I'd be floored
(....unless it was well into drinkypoo time. 'I swear to God he talked to me. ....And the pot plant says hi, too' :lol:

)

I go now. I can hear the OT police 'blues & two's' wailling :bye:

exactly wat should we take pics of?

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 3:23 pm**

it's an open-ended contest. The rules state what you can and can't do, but other than that you can interpret the contest however you think is best.
