Monthly Tarantula Photo Contests

[Josh]

Hey Everyone,

I want to start doing monthly tarantula photo contests. How many of you would participate if we started this month? The winner would be prominently featured on the homepage for everyone to appreciate.
A little competition is good, right?

It could be interesting. What do you have in mind?

 

[Josh]

One photo per member per month. Submit your photos via email to remain anonymous. We all vote and the photo with the most votes gets the prestige of winning for that month and being featured on the home page. If we get some vendors interested in donating small prizes, that would be great as well!

I meant for my question to be a bit more specific, like would there be a general theme for contests (like on GeckoTalk, for instance), or just random awesome spider pics?

 

[Samuraisid]

Times like these I wish I had a decent camera

LOL, Im game for some friendly competition.

 

[jetfire]

I only have the camera on my phone,I do what I can. The hardest part is getting your subject to cooperate anyway.

 

[Josh]

Probably for now we would just do random awesome spider pics!!

I'm in. I have plenty of pretty spiders to photograph. Where are we e-mailing our entries?

 

[jetfire]

Don't worry about emailing entries, just post them in this thread

 

[Nada]

Ok, I'm going with this one.

 

[Josh]

Some awesome photos here! Can anyone put them randomly together on one image and number them? That way we can set up a poll and start the voting? I may be able to get to it tomorrow, but it's Halloween, so no promises!

Bindi our rescued chillian rose who was found in a bin, hence the name, beautiful gentle female

 

[Nada]

Oh, that's horrible. Where was the bin? Did someone just try to throw her away?

 

[donna]

hello , yes my brothers friend was clearing out some flats & she was in the outdoor bin ,in her tank, she had shed recently & i think her unexperienced keeper thought she was dead. we have had her nearly a year now & are looking forward to her first shed with us.

 

[Nada]

That just makes me angry.. glad she has a good home now.
