Feast Your Eyes Photo Contest - sponsored by Premium Aquatics

[jimsflies]

As we near Thanksgiving, lets "Feast Your Eyes" on some serious eye candy! Enter a photo of the center piece in your marine aquarium. The photo could be a coral, fish, or invert.

To enter you will need to add your photo entry to the applicable CR Showcase forum:
Coral Collector Forum
Fish Finder Forum
Invert Index

Be sure to select the Feast Your Eyes from the drop down when you add your entries Invert Index Forum. When you enter your photo in one of the above forums, you must also complete the thread fields to the best of your knowledge. Completion of the fields will be taken into accounts when choosing the finalists.

If you want a little more information on how to add your corals to one of the showcase forums, here is a tutorial.

This month's prize is a 12.5" Stunner Strip by Ecoxotic 12.5" (blue & white) and power adaptor donated by Premium Aquatics

In addition, the winner will have a golden camera award placed in his or her postbit and will be featured on the CR. The winner will also serve as a judge for the next two photo contests.

Selection of the Winning Photo

Based on the number of entries submitted, a number of semi-finalists (10% of the entries will be semi-finalists) will be selected by jimsflies and the previous two POTM winners. Semi-finalists will be posted for the general membership to vote on their favorite. In the event of a tie, the tied entries will be reposted for a tie breaking vote with the general membership. Should we receive 10 or less entries, the judging panel will decide the winner. Photos will be judged on topic, composition, and quality.

So the pic you put up in the appropriate forum doesn't show up in this thread. Correct? I see mine in the invert identifier and it shows that it's for feast your eyes but not in this thread.

[jimsflies]

Right... it does not automatically show up here in this thread.
