How do you get a picture entered in the photo contest?

It might be something we could look in to doing for the following year. On another forum that I'm a member for, we vote every month on the best picture and it becomes the photo for that month in the calendar. Then for the cover they either vote for an overall favorite or they do something cool like put all the submitted photo into a collage or something. All the winners get a free calendar.

They make a little more interesting by providing themes every month, but the animal is more of an interactive animal than turtles. We still might be able to do it though, like eating, sleeping, superman, yawn, etc.

I think a calendar would be a great idea!
Bowser would make a great "Miss July" (we bought her in July) :P

That's so cool. I love the second row, fourth across.

How is the photo of the week decided anyway?

The moderators and admins vote on all the pictures submitted. Then those finalists are voted on by any forum member. The one with the most votes wins. In this particular thread, I just put together some of my favorites a few years ago. Should probably do another one soon.

These are very wonderful photos in the past years . I see that the contest did not occur in 2015 and yet 2016 however on these forums unless I am missing something. I do not use facebook any longer as many of the members do now to allow me to check there as this contest may have been relocated to facebook. I would like to submit entry photos of course when it does occur. When will the next photo contest be?

We had enough to do a couple of more but entries dropped to the point where it wouldn't have been competitive. So there's no real future for the contest since everyone spends a lot of time on social media. It might re-emerge on social media, but maybe as an experiment.

But if you post some great photos on this site, I usually cross-post it on our page and might include it in future site updates. :)
