Redearslider.com :: Photo Gallery and Contest

This photo contest is open to everyone, including non-registered users. The winning photo may appear on the Redearslider.com homepage and appear in a “Sticky” in the Photo Gallery forum. All acceptable photos will be added to the Photo Gallery of the website.

Current Rules

Judging will currently be limited to moderators and the previous winner. Judges may submit photos, but they cannot vote for their own photos. There is no lobbying of any kind permitted. Photos, photographers and judges will be disqualified if this occurs.

The same individual is not permitted to win consecutively. Specifically, the previous month's winner is allowed to submit entries for the next contest but cannot be selected as the next winner. However, the previous winner will be allowed to judge the following month.

Materials

Photographs can be of any type of turtle or tortoise. Photos of unique enclosures or environments are very welcome. Submitted photos must not be copyrighted, and you must have complete permission to use that photo. The photo must not be commercially available (stock photography) or downloaded from a personal or professional website (or other sources). A limit of 3 photos per person may be submitted for judging.

Tips

Photos should be clear and should not be digitally enhanced.
A size of 800x600 pixels or larger is recommended.
Do not worry about cropping images or enhancing them. (We may request larger pictures at a later time.)
Do not include text (title graphics, headlines or captions) with photos.
Time stamps are acceptable as long as it does not diminish the quality of the photo.
It is advisable to limit people or other distractions in the photos.
