Nothing to nobody
The theme for the Feb. contest will be "Zoanthids"
Each member may submit 2 photos for each contest.
The prize -- donated by Beacon Aquarium -- will be a 52LB box of bulk carbon and new this month will be an 8x10 enlargement of the winning photo provided by Reefdom.com
A few ground rules to help make this a successful contest:
- a different theme will be picked each month, and will be announced on the appropriate thread
- each contest will have two phases: photo submission (about 2 weeks), and voting (about 1 week)
- photos must be sent by email to this address: brs_photos (at) homeontheweb (dot) org ; please include your forum screen name in the email message ; please do not post photos on this thread (if you need help with sending a photo by email, don't hesitate to PM or email me)
- I will collect all the photos (in order to "anonymize" them as much as possible -- but I will not remove any copyright/author information on the photos themselves) and then post them on a voting thread where members can vote for their favorite image
- each member can submit at most 2 photos each month; you must be a paid member of the BRS in order to enter the contest and claim your prize -- another great reason to join or renew your membership!
- photos must be JPEGs, no larger than 800x600 pixels, and no bigger than 96KBytes; please try to submit as large a picture as possible within those limits
- photos should be judged according to content (must be within the theme for the month, I reserve the right to exclude photos that are clearly outside the theme), composition, color, and other relevant criteria
- the winner will be determined at the end of the voting, and will have the opportunity to present their photo at the next monthly meeting (assuming a computer and video projector is available) and talk a bit about the challenges involved in making the image and about the subject of the photo (time limited to about 5 minutes)
- "stuffing" the ballot box is not permitted; this includes registering for multiple accounts on the system, as well as asking friends, family, co-workers and other non-reefers to join and vote (because we do not want "dead" accounts on the system). This is meant to be a friendly competition among reef hobbyists, please help keep it that way.
- photos that have won earlier contests cannot be re-entered into a contest
- you must have taken the photo yourself
