(Josh has unexpectedly been so busy with real life, that he has not gotten this contest started. As time is passing way quicker then it should, we Mods are taking this upon ourselves to get things rolling. These rules are tentative as are the dates, subject to Josh's approval.

Fourth Annual Calendar Photo Contest Submissions Thread!
Time for our Fourth Annual Tortoise Calendar Photo Contest and the 2012 Edition of our much sought after Tortoise Wall Calendar! For those who are not familiar with this annual tradition, toward the end of the year we hold a contest where all members are encouraged to submit their best tortoise photo. Then we all vote for our favorites, which are then published in a Tortoise Forum Wall Calendar.
Members can enter by posting their tortoise photo in this thread. YOU MUST HAVE BEEN A MEMBER FOR 30 DAY'S TO ENTER. Only ONE entry per household. There will be only ONE WEEK of photo submissions after which the voting will begin. The top 12 voted photos will be printed in the 2011 Tortoise Forum Calendar (12 months and one cover) along with a collage of ALL of this year's entries.
THE PHOTO WITH THE MOST TOTAL VOTES will usually also win a prize, but we need to wait for Josh to clarify that.
Contest Rules:
- Your photo must be of a tortoise, any species will do.
- You must be the sole copyright owner of the photo you submit.
- Only one submission per member. Choose your photo carefully! Please don't try to work the system by registering multiple accounts - the database keeps records of these things...
- Photo placement in the calendar will be prioritized according to how many votes each photo gets (ex. the top voted photo gets first choice on which month they want their photo with)
- You can re-size your photo to post it here but the original must be at least 6 megapixels so that it can be printed at an 8.5"x11" size. Your photo will be thrown out if it does not meet this requirement.
- All photos must be submitted (posted in this thread) by October 31, 2011 at 11:59pm PST.

No comments, just photos.We will be starting a thread just for you to place your comments, so please post your comments ONLY on that thread, not this one.
