MCA Photo Contest Dec 2013 - Xmas
« on: December 04, 2013, 10:20:49 PM »
The theme for Dec will be "Xmas". Use a picture of YOUR fish and edit it to reflect a Xmas scene, conversation etc. Get creative. This should let everyone use their imagination.

Please read the contest rules thread stickied at the top of this section.

*****DO NOT POST PICTURES IN THIS THREAD*****

Entry period is open from now until Dec 20th, 2013.

Voting will begin Dec 23rd, 2013 and run through Dec 31st, 2013.

Any questions or comments/suggestions are welcome in this thread.

Apologies for making this last minute. I've been busy with "stuff" and plain old forgot about it. I still think we can squeeze it in with a little over two weeks to take/edit pics. Looking forward to some great entries.

I would like to suggest that any Christmas Fulu pictures be automatically disqualified.  :P

Well, I only received one entry. So I guess we'll cancel this one and try again next year (earlier of course). Stay tuned for the next photo contest.

I meant to, but have been busy.  :(

If the contest is canceled, can the single entry be posted up for us to see?

I like the photo contests and hope we continue them.

I think I'll save the entry...maybe he'll want to reuse it next year.

I'll work on an idea for the next contest. I knew with it being holiday time and me being late that it'd be tough to get a decent amount of entries...but I gave it a go anyway.

No worries Emil I posted it in the Gen section just as a Merry Christmas so don't worry about saving it ;)
