Accepting July Picture of the Month Contest Entries

[slimbolen99]

As mentioned before, July's POTM contest theme will be FULL TANK setups. Any aquatic setup (including vivariums, palladiums, and of course aquariums).

SPECIAL RULES:
- Only full tank shots will be accepted. If you can't get a full tank shot, please email me and we'll work something out. At least two sides of the aquarium edge or trim should be visable in the photo (top and bottom, or left and right).

- You may submit a photo that YOU took of YOUR tank only -- no public displays or other private party tanks. The aquarium must be in your possession.

- Understanding that there are some tank build threads already on the forum, the only thing I ask is that you submit a POTM-UNIQUE photo to the POTM contest of existing tanks in those threads -- a photo that has not been posted on the site before...only for use in the contest, until the contest is over.

Please EMAIL your entry to [email protected] ; be sure to include your username, a title for your tank (or one will be provided for you), and a brief description of the tank (size, inhabitants, how long it's been going, etc).

Please be sure to familiarize yourself with the POTM rules.

Good luck!!

Just a heads up -- please send me as large of a file as possible -- 1MB is a minimum, larger is better - so that it uploads nicely to the photobucket system which allows each image to be downsized to the same size.

Additionally, I may offer to crop some of your photos if they display more than all four corners of the tank...so if you don't know how to do that - don't let that discourage you from participating.

FYI - I will be heading out to the woods for the next five days. There is no internet service, so if you send in a submission, and don't hear from me, don't worry, I'll get back to you by July 9th.

Keep sending them in folks -- if you have questions, please feel free to ask!

We need more photos of your tank setups! Please send them in...would hate to miss a month. I can see that there are several threads with some great tanks...now we just need a photo sent in.

A little under two days remaining. Remember, this month's contest can be ANY aquatic setup; does not have to be apistos.
