Red, White & Blue Photo Contest sponsored by CultivatedReef.com

[jimsflies]

This month's topic is pretty simple...Add up to three (3) fish or corals that you think look the most patriotic in your tank to either the Coral Collector Forum or the Fish Finder Forum.

Be sure to select the Red, White & Blue Contest from the drop down when you add your entries in the Fish Finder or Coral Collector Forum. When you create the threads in Coral Collector and/or Fish Finder 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 the Coral Collector or Fish Finder forum, here is a tuturial.

This month's prize is a $50 gift certificate to CultivatedReef.com.
Be sure to visit CultivatedReef.com and thank Greg for sponsoring the contest!.



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

The last day to submit photos is July 31, 2011.

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.
