Photo contest

In case anyone forgot, Jan/Feb contests are due soon. Thought I'd throw a reminder so it doesn't pass people by. :D


POTM theme is Gardens


PS- epic fail on the thread topic name. If a mod sees it, is it possible to change it to contest?

Dang. I knew I'd lose track when we went to 2 months...

bump bump

Bump. Figure I'd bump it again for the early day readers. :)

Entered! Don't forget to get your photos in, guys! It's every two months so people have more time to put entries together!

When is the deadline?

28th

Thanks

Probably Saturday(March 1st). Judy usually posts a reminder when they are due... Sometimes it depends on how busy she gets so the due date runs a little later.

Thanks for the updates and encouragement! It means a lot to see folks get involved with the contests!

All current eligible photos have been validated, as of this post. If you don't see your picture in the queue check these three possible reasons:

1. The picture didn't qualify
2. The picture didn't load properly and I never received it
3. You sent it in after this post was made and I haven't gotten to it yet

How do you know if your photo qualifies for the contests? READ THE RULES! :P

We've got lots of great ball python pics...a respectable showing of other herps, but more is always more fun. And a dismal TWO photos entered for POTM. It doesn't have to be a current photo, so if your favorite GARDEN is buried under snow, find an old picture of it. That is fine! Let's bring a little spring hope to our contest!!

Thanks, guys!

((Deadline for entries is midnight on the last day of the month. :gj: ))

I have a couple for POTM. I just need to decide which one I want to enter :)

I don't feel so bad now lol. I keep looking at them thinking hmm ok this one..but wait..no maybe this one! Decisions decisions lol.

More people submit to POTM, we need more competition there! Pull out your garden photos from last season, get us all back in the mood!

I can't decide. And everyone I ask tells me a different answer... :(

Thanks for the reminder!

One last bump. Get them in by midnight people! :D

I put a pic up in the POTM contest just so there's another entry for that category. It's mostly a pic of my dog, but it's in the garden so hopefully it counts :)

I uploaded one last night to POTM. Hope it went through. :)

This is what I like to hear, make Judy work her butt off for a 2 month contest. Keep them coming, 6 more hours til deadline. :D

Calm down, I got mine in. Lol.

Just uploaded one for BPOM too. :)

I've tried to upload one for POTM for the last two days, but every time I try it acts like it's loading then stops on a blank screen. Now when I look at the updated selection for POTM it isn't there... Is there any other way I can try to get the picture in because it appears that it isn't going through...

I have a question, and please don't take this as an argument, I'm just curious to hear an answer because the rules are a little unclear to me. I uploaded a pic for bpom of my BP riding on the back of my turtle. The picture was cropped by admin to cut most of the turtle out of the picture. I did read and understand the rules, but I decided to upload the pic anyway because of the last winner of bpom had a rat in the picture. I believe the interaction between the rat and snake is what made it such an awesome picture. If the rat had been cropped out the picture wouldn't of had the same kind of impact. Again, I'm not mad, just curious. I didn't expect to win anyhow, some of the other pictures are awesome!

Try a different browser. I always have issues uploading with Firefox and half of my pictures never went through. So now I only upload to contests with Chrome, which always goes through for me.

There is a size limit/requirement on the pictures. Maybe yours was to large and had to be cropped?

Usually a picture won't upload if it's too large and the page will give an error stating so. Or at least that's what happened to me in the past when my photos were too large.

I can promise you that I didn't crop any contest photos. Never have. If that's not your original photo, then I don't know what happened. I've gotten pics uploaded that are oversized, and it will either reject it (if it's TOO big) or it will upload the full oversized version. Never seen one get cropped before. Feel free to submit it again in the future, unless it wins this time. Maybe take the original picture and resize it yourself to a max of 800px wide, to make sure the entire image gets loaded.

In the meantime...on with the contests. :)

I believe you, and no big deal. I didn't expect to win anyway. I had no idea how hard it is to get a good pic of a snake. They do not cooperate at all:D

One month/half way mark reminder to get your pics in for the March/April contests.

POTM theme is field herping. Good luck. :)

Bump bump. Just over 2 weeks left people. Let's get some pics in.

I might have one for BP of the month. I wish I could have gotten one for POTM but it's still cold here so no luck field herping. :(

Yeah, field herping is a no go for me too, I've got nothing. And I can't enter HOTM.

Can't enter POTM, and I don't have anything for HOTM. Bp photo is in already though.

Well I uploaded one for BP of the month and HOTM. Hope they went through.

Thanks guys. :)

If I'm not lazy and get lucky, I could have pics for all 3 by tomorrow night. Guess that's a bit braggadocios though huh? :smh:

Shut your trap, I already put the disclaimer in that if I'm NOT lazy it'll happen. ;) :P

One more week until the voting begins. :D

Not yet, I've been a combination of busy and lazy.

Just a few reminders for everyone...

The submitted pictures don't have to be new. If you haven't had a chance to get out there field herping yet this year, but you've got some cool shots from previous trips, feel free to submit your favorite! Same with balls and herps...you don't have to take fresh pictures if you have a favorite older picture of one of your pets. (The exception being that previously winning photos cannot be re-entered. :P )

I'm traveling this week and will be very busy, so don't panic if your picture doesn't show up in the contest galleries right away. They go into a queue for approval and I might not get to it until the last minute. Don't worry...if you get it into the queue, it will be considered for the contests!

Make sure you READ THE RULES!!! I can't tell you how many submissions I get from folks who have obviously never read the rules. They're very simple. Give it a shot! ;) Photos that don't meet the simple requirements laid out in the rules will be deleted without notice.

Deadline is Wednesday at Midnight so get them in. :D

I submitted 2 photos a while back.

Yeup. Saw them in the gallery. GL :gj:

I got mine in for BPOM and HOTM. Didn't have anything for POTM. :(

I'm trying to enter a photo in the BPOM but I can't do it for some reason. I tried on my MacBook but when I click submit my screen just goes white so it doesn't go through tried that a couple times got the same result. Then tried on my iPhone and it said I'm "Missing a Security Token" and I have no idea what that means lol. So how do I enter the picture? Haha I'm not as tech savy as I used to be. ☺️ but I definitely want to get it in before Wednesday.

Just saw this and looked it up, i saw 2 possible solutions: 1. Reset modem and router. 2. Something with a profile that i didnt understand.
Perhaps one of the admins or another more tech advanced person could offer another avenue for posting.
