First off, since we have such a diverse collection of animal keepers on the forum, I need to make it clear that some months the contest may exclude certain members with the theme.
Since the only "prize" is recognition of your photo, no one should ever get jilted or feel left out is they don't have a certain animal they can enter.
Meaning, if the "winner" of the first month should chose a theme that requires that entries be a lizard photo, a colubrid, a python, etc.. then so be it, and don't get angry if you don't have a specific animal to enter in a certain months contest.
Since we are a herp forum, no dog/cat/bunny or ferrets will be considered.
However, I am open to mice, rats, fish and insects.
The rules are as follows;
1) Each participant is allowed
only one entry. Photos submitted by anyone must be taken by you and not be a picture from the internet.
2) The contest will remain open for the first 3 weeks of the month, the final week being set aside for voting.
3) Pictures
must be related to Herps only and must be within the theme set by last month's winner in order to be eligible.
4)
The winner may choose the theme for the next contest,
but may not participate in it.
5) It is understood that
the winner gives his or her permission for their winning entry to be posted on the portal page, and/or otherwise used by ssnakess.com with credit being given to the photographer.
There is no other "prize" offered or implied.
The winner will be chosen by a poll conducted on the forum.
