NOTE:The deadline for submitted pictures has been extended by 2 weeks. The new due date is March 25, 2006 in order to give people more time to snap some pictures.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I would like to announce The Planted Tank Photography competition. Showcase your talents, let the world know just how good you really are. Oh yeah, and have a shot at winning a $100 gift certificate to www.seachem.com. This competition is open to all. The only requirement is that you must be a member of the forum to participate.
The competition will be broken down into 2 categories: Plants and Fish/Shrimp . The Fish/Shrimp will be broken down even further into Macro and Non-Macro shots. Every member is allowed to submit up to four pictures total, with a maximum of 2 in both Plants and Fish/Shrimp. For Fish/Shrimp, you can enter either 2 in macro, 2 in non-macro, or 1 in each.
All participant's names will be kept anonymous till the end of the competition. The voting will be 100% member-based, with each member getting one vote per category. We will do our best to curtail any cheating and anyone found to be cheating will immediately be disqualified. Cheating includes but is not limited to Private/Public enlisting of votes on this site or any others. Also any images perceived as being altered to the extent that the validity of the photograph is in question will be removed from the competition at the administration's sole discretion. Please submit unwatermarked photographs only with a maximum aspect ratio of 1024 x 768.
Important: All entries to the Plants category must focus on one specific plant species. The plant name must be attached with the photograph. Also it is optional, but appreciated if a description of the plant and it's requirements are submitted as well. The optional description will have no effect on the outcome of competition as it will not be displayed during voting. For the Fish/Shrimp category please list all species included in the photograph. There is a reason we are asking for these details. We will use the submitted photographs to help bolster the Plant and Fish Databases. So not only are you getting a chance at a very hefty prize, but you'll also be helping out a good cause!
