After a four year hiatus GeckoForums calender will be back for 2014! GF members voted on a Leopard Gecko Morph calendar this year, so now all we need is YOUR PHOTOS!

Photo entries should be posted on this thread.

We will need a total of 12 winning photos, one for each month of the year to get our 2014 calendar published. Everyone will be able to purchase a copy of the finished calendar, details for purchasing later. They will make GREAT Holiday gifts!

All photos entered will be collected and posted by the month in which they were entered, then voted on by the rest of the GF members in a poll. The winners will receive a FREE GeckoForums calendar!

The photo contest entries will end Sunday October 13th, 2013 Midnight EST.

Voting will take place October 14th -27th.


RULES:

1. All original photos must be submitted in 300 pixels per inch (118 pixels per cm) resolution.

2. All original photos must be submitted in 11W x 8.5H inch (21.6 x 27.9 cm) "landscape" format. Photos that are formatted in the "portrait" format will not work on the calendar.

3. Photos cannot have watermarks, labels (company names, ID #s, etc.), or borders on them.

4. Members may only submit only ONE photo for each month of the year. For example, you may post one photo for December, one photo for January, one photo for April, etc., for a total of up to 12 photos per member.

5. All photo entries MUST be submitted with the month labeled for which they are entered. For example, when you post a photo for December, you will need to state it is a submission for 'December'.

6. If original photos are blurry, do not meet the size and resolution requirements or are not owned by the member submitting them they will be disqualified from being entered in the contest. Photos may be re-sized for posting here of GF. If you need help checking or cropping a photo please Email the photo to [email protected] with "GF Photo Contest" in the subject line.

7. All acceptable entries will be then posted on individual thread polls for each month on this forum where members can then vote on the photo they like best to represent each month for the 2014 calendar. The winner for each month will have their photo published in the calendar, and receive a FREE calendar as a prize!

8. All winning photos will have the name of the photographer published with the calendar photo, but GeckoForums will have sole and exclusive rights to edit the photo and use for any future needs and for the publication of the calendar.

9. In case of any ties the Geckoforum MODs will decided the tie breaker.

I emailed in a single photo.... in hopes you are still taking entries. It would not post here with the size requested? I don't know.... If you are accepting more entries, I would love to add more.. Thank you in advance,

Cheers.

OK, so we didn't get enough entries. So I will revise the contest to see if we can get enough for a calender. I'm going to make this very simple and take any photos of any gecko species. Because we are getting away from the monthly submissions, each member can only submit two photos. If more than two are submitted the additional submissions will be deleted. We will then vote on the top twelve + maybe a cover. Please make sure all submissions are in this thread and all pictures are in landscape mode with no cropping, borders or text.

Thanks Thad, I seem to have a problem uploading the large file size, so Id like to upload one in 800x600px just for posting here. The original file is in the 300dpi and 11"x8.5" size as requested. If mine happens to be a winner, I have NO issues emailing you the original.

Cheers.

If you were doing the monthly morphs, I have one that would've been perfect for the month of June....she's the tangerine in the picture above...and her name is actually June. But here are my 2 submitted pictures.

I don't know why no one else is entering.... I have a million photos I could enter... I could have easily submitted one or two for each morph, like the contest originally was..

However I got caught snoozing... (in the middle of a move, and wasnt online much )

Hopefully we get more entries... I've spread the word around. so here's to hoping ;)
