The contest is now closed to everyone.

Normal procedure from here would be to have the members vote to decide which 5 photo entries (from all submitted) would be selected as the finalists. Due to the fact that only 5 entries were submitted, we will bypass the member voting stage of the contest and go directly into the final round of voting by PHstaff to determine the winner.

WINNER SELECTION

After tallying the member votes, the top 5 finalists will have their photos voted on during a 2 day period by PetHobbyist staff.

Once a winner has been selected, the winning photo will be showcased on the Corn Snake forum until the next contest is held (approx. 1-3 months). Winner will be announced November 27.

It is important for the winner of the contest to keep their winning photo stored on the PetHobbyist photo gallery during this period as the photo shown on the forum page is linked directly to it. If you delete your photo from the photo gallery, it will no longer appear on the forum index page.

Thank you all for participating.
