I doubt it. even with just the first prize they are giving away alot of merchandise with $20 each. just for the fish section if all pictures were changed at $20 a piece do you realize how much worth of credits that SWF is giving away and thats just the fish section.
This contest has a staggering prize total when its all added up! I dont think there is going to be a second place in a contest like this one LOL.

exactly what i was thinking. i said almost the exact same thing in the yellow tang voting thread. guess i should have just put it here.
anyways, i agree 100%.

good point, but i think staying on one page and loading all those pictures would probably take less time than loading 3- 10 seperate pages, some which also have multiple pictures.

I have a quick question about the rules. Is there any limit to the number of times someone can win?

i doubt it. if you have the best photo 5 times, why shouldnt they pick the best photo? i doubt theyll pick a lower quality photo just because youve won before. not sure how many $20 credits you can get though.

That makes sense, of course they will want to best photo. However they also benefit by getting more people involved and excited about the contest. If they just wanted high qualities pictures they could just hire someone to do it, but this way they get good photos and increase excitement for the site. Also by having different people with $20 credits they will probably increase the number of customers instead of having one customer with a bunch of free items.
In the end I'm okay with whatever they want but I was curious since some places set limits on winnings.

I personally think a good crisp, clear photo that represents the typical item you would purchase is the best thing. If you have saw a yellow tang with a pink tail that wouldnt be a good representation of what you would buy...thats just an example.

This is a great idea! I love doing biz with swf.c; but, I hate to say it (no I don't), the web site pics are terrible. But I'd rather have a great fish than a nice pic and a lousy fish anytime!

I'm quoting my previous post to bring this back to attention. Hopefully, someone from admin can address this. I don't know how hard it would be to put all of the photos for each poll on the corrosponding thread, but it would make voting a lot easier and more effective than using a bunch of links. Any opinions???
