Boa Forum Photo Contest - September 2006

Contest Outline:

Submit your entries: September 11 - 18
Member voting to select finalists: September 19-21
Winner Announced: September 22

The Winner gets: their photo showcased on the Boa Forum until such a time as the winner of the photo choses to remove that photo from the photo gallery or a new contest for the forum is held - which ever comes first.

Before entering your photo in the contest, PLEASE take the time to carefully read the rules at the top of the Contest Forum page and here in this post. Photos that are not submitted in the proper format will be disqualified and their entry removed from the contest forum!

If you are NOT familiar with how to upload photos to the forums, please PRACTICE first in the Testing Forum.

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS (how to):

* Only one (1) entry per username is allowed. Multiple entries by the same username will result in the extra entries being removed from the contest.

* To submit an entry:

You must submit your photo as a response to this message. Click on 'Reply To This Message.'

In the message box, first delete the contest information from the message box and then feel free to provide any details about your photo if you desire (photo title, pet's name/common name, species/genus, etc.).

Next, go to the bottom of the screen to where is says 'Select Image from Photo Gallery.' Open that menu up and select the image you wish to submit (it helps if you remember what file name your image was originally uploaded as). If you are familiar on how to use the [ img ] tags to post photos from the photo gallery you may feel free to do it that way instead.

Once you are finished entering all information, click 'post message'.

REMINDER:

Photo submission is open to everyone until midnight of the closing date. Any photos entered after that date/time will not be eligible.

After the Contest is closed, members may begin voting on which photo they like best. Only one (1) vote per username is allowed. Once you vote, you can't undo it so choose wisely. Multiple votes by the same username will result in all votes by that username being disqualified.

The photo with the most votes will be declared the winner. In the event that there is a tie for most votes, the winning photo will be selected from a panel of PetHobbyist staff.

Good Luck!

Great picture Jonathan.

I have to agree, this is the best photo posted here, though many others were incredible animals, and very nice photography, I think this is the best balance of technical quality, composition, and Boa -specific beauty.
