Hey gals and guys. I think it's time for a new picture contest.
Someone step up to the task and host it please. I did the last one. Come up with your rules and stipulate exactly what you want as far as how big and # accepted of pics. etc. Basic rules or guidelines. You can offer a prize or not, it's your contest. Barry

How about a macro contest? If you like the idea then let me know and i will come up with the rest of the stuff, but for right now figured i would just put an idea out there to see what peoepl thought

If someone will host the contest (I do not have the time) I will help judge and I will provide the prize.
I will give the winner their choice of zoos, mushrooms, or candy canes and I will take care of shipping costs of course.

i like the macro idea, ill help judge too if you want. i always wondered why there isnt a "tank of the month" on this forum, that would be my suggestion.

We still need someone to "head" the contest.
I will provide the prize. Iwill also help judge if whoever takes control of this wants me to.

macro shots are great, but if you really want a lot of turnout, you might want to stay away form them. a lot of people without super expensive cameras, even if they have super nice tanks, may not be able to take good macro pics just because of their camera. (ps: no, i am not jsut trying to win. haha. i got a new camera a few weeks ago that takes pretty decent macro shots)
which is why id suggest a topic where the pics are limited more towards atristicness and the quality of the tank :happyfish
how about top downs? ive always loved those.
but of course, jsut a suggestion

If I was to host another one; I would follow advice from my last contest. That was, don't put a join date in the rules etc. Just keep it simple is always better.
Include everyone, every kind of tank, basically only have rules govering size of pic. and amount of entry pics. per person.

The only thing about an open poll is someone could vote for 1 pic. or many several times. It should (IMO) be ran by someone in charge and have 3-4 judges. Just my ideas.

i believe if you do the poll option when creating a new thread it will only allow a person to vote once though. right? i could be wrong about that
