Time for our Third Annual Tortoise Calendar Photo Contest and the 2011 Edition of our much sought after Tortoise Wall 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 Wall Calendar.
Members can enter by posting their tortoise photo in this thread (need to register?). There will be three weeks of photo submissions after which the voting will begin. The top 12 voted photos will be printed in the 2011 Tortoise Forum Calendar (12 months and one cover) along with a collage of ALL of this year's entries. The calendars will be printed by Costco as I heard only good things about the quality of product they delivered last year.

THE PHOTO WITH THE MOST TOTAL VOTES WILL ALSO WIN A $50 GIFT CARD TO TortoiseSupply.com!!!

Contest Rules:
- Your photo must be of a tortoise, any species will do.
- You must be the sole copyright owner of the photo you submit.
- Only one submission per member. Choose your photo carefully! Please don't try to work the system by registering multiple accounts - the database keeps records of these things...
- 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)
- You can re-size your photo to post it here but the original must be at least 6 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.
- All photos must be submitted (posted in this thread) before October 11, 2010 at 11:59pm PST.
- Please use this thread for submissions only. No comments, just photos. If you have a question or comment use this thread.

Please use the following format when submitting your photo:
Tortoise Name: [Your Tort's Name Here]
Tortoise Species: [Your Tort's Species Here]
Taken by: [Your Name Here]
[Your Photo Here]


Thank you and good luck to you all!

Also thank you to our contest sponsor:
