Time for our sixth Annual Tortoise Forum Calendar Photo Contest and the 2014 Edition of our much sought after Tortoise Forum 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 Calendar.
Entries should be submitted until Tuesday, October 15, 2013 @ 11:59PM PST after which the voting will begin. Photos will be displayed on October 16, 2013 for you to be sure your entry is showing. Voting will run from Thursday, October 17- Thursday the 24th.
The top 12 voted photos will be printed in the 2014 Tortoise Forum Calendar along with a collage of ALL of this year's entries.
The photo with the most TOTAL votes will receive a $100 gift certificate to LLLReptile.com
Thank you, LLLREPTILE!
Rules to enter:
- Members must have been a member for the previous 30 days (on or before Sept 1, 2013) to enter this contest.
- Only ONE entry per household.
- Your photo must be of a living tortoise, any species will do.
- You must be the sole owner of the photo you submit.
- Only one submission per member. Choose your photo carefully - you may not change it once it's submitted.
- 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)
- The photo original must be at least 5 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. (To find megapixels, multiply the length of your image, in pixels, by the height. ex. an 2592x1936 pixel image is roughly 5 megapixels.) This is important because small digital photos cannot be blown up and still look nice.
- No photoshopping or photo altering of any kind is allowed.
- All photos must be submitted by October 15, 2013 @ 11:59PM PST.
We will not be publishing the submitted photos until the submission date has passed. Then you will have one day (October 16th) to make sure your photo is showing on a special pre-voting thread we will make. Voting will begin on October 17th.
