RE: Third Annual Calendar Photo Contest commentary Thread!

is it ok to gear the photo towards a specific month? for example put the tortoise in a "Halloween" type enviornment?

Yes, you may frame your photo however you like, so long as there is a living tortoise in the shot!

WOO HOO! Looks like I get some craft time this weekend!!! Thanks!!!

Hi! I am so excited to find out after buying my first tortoise today I already have the opportunity to show him off .... I have a question, is it ok to gear the photo towards a specific month? for example put the tortoise in a "Halloween" type enviornment? I see most of the submissions are in a more natural setting, I just don't want to submit one way out in left field! Thanks!!!!

It would be so cool if someone stuck a santa claus hat on one of the bigger torts.

I was actually thinking of doing that to my CDT.

I'd hate to be one of the folks who have to choose only 12 of those photos.

Sorry to burst your bubble, Yvie, but you ARE one of the folks who will choose. We all are going to get to vote once the time frame has expired.

RE: [split] Third Annual Calendar Photo Contest commentary

I've tried to find the commentary thread for our current calendar contest, but I can't find it. I wanted to move the above two posts to the commentary thread. Can anyone help me find it? Please??? Never mind...I found it!!

Hi Tczar:

If you're trying to submit a picture, its this thread:

http://tortoiseforum.org/Thread-Third-Annual-Calendar-Photo-Contest-Submissions-Thread

It takes quite a while to load, and you'll have a blank screen for a minute or so while all the pictures load. But give it time and it will open.

Is anyone else a bit miffed that at least like, half of the entries are the one and only post people have here? Usually on other forums, there is a limit to the posts you have to have to be eligible. That way, the contest not only encourages new members, but ACTIVE new members. Something like a 25 post limit or what have you.

The one-poster pics are great, but I always thought of the contest as a way to say thanks to the people that come here and post often.

Yes I also noticed that. I couldn't believe how many 1st time posters had posted a picture there's a lot of them.

RE: 3rd annual calendar Photo Contest commentary thread

I know it would be a lot of work for Josh to set up, but next year I would like to see each month with a different kind of tortoise. I'm sure we can come up with 12 or 13 different kinds, huh?

Thank you, she is very pretty isn't she, can't believe she's mine sometimes.

That's exactly what I was thinking Yvonne.

How about a contest for each moth...each month's contest would showcase a different species...and that month you could only submit photos for that particular species...

I moved your query from the "submissions" thread over here to the "commentary" thread.

In answer to your question, your picture DID show up...as a link to the picture, twice (I removed that post) and as a post with the picture once. I left that one for the contest.

Very cute picture, and I love the heart-shaped nuchal scute.
