Leopard Gecko Forum Photo Contest - March 2004
Approximate time frame for this contest is 2 weeks:
Submit your entries: March 5 - 12 (completed)
Member voting to select finalists: March 13 - 16
Staff voting to select winner: March 17 & 18
Winner Announced: March 19
The contest is now closed to any further photo entries.
Voting by the members will now begin.
VOTING PROCEDURES
Pay very close attention!
Members will have 4 days to vote on their favorite photos (including your own).
You are allowed to vote for as many as 3 photo entries (one vote per photo). If you vote for more than the 3 allowed photos or if you vote multiple times for the same photo you will disqualify all of your votes.
To vote, simply go to the photo you want to vote for and post a 'vote' reply message to that particular entry. Make sure you when you post your vote that you are posting it to the correct photo you want to vote for!
Anyone caught cheating and 'stuffing' the ballots will not be tolerated and will have their posts removed.
Voting is open to everyone until the posting of the "Voting Closed" message. Any votes made after the time stamp of that message will not be eligible.
WINNER SELECTION
After tallying the member votes, the top 5 entries (the finalists) will have their photos voted on during a 2 day period by PetHobbyist staff. In the event that there are ties among the voting for some of the finalist selections, those additional photos will be also be entered into the final round of voting by PH staff.
Once a winner has been selected, the winning photo will be showcased on the Leopard Gecko 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.
It is important for the winner of the contest to know that if you delete your winning photo from the photo gallery, it will no longer appear on the forum index page where it is being showcased.
*Note* Conversation posts within a designated 'contest' thread will be removed while that contest is in progress. This is to help keep the contest neat and organized while it is in progress. If you wish to engage someone in conversation about their photo, please do so outside of the contest thread (preferably on the leopard gecko forum) or wait until after the contest is completed and the winner announced. Thank you. ----- _____
