the 10 points for photography will be for anything to do with photography including fulltankshots,updates,and just general pics added when ever. it wont come down to who takes the best pics , a person who shows 10 phone pics and gives a bit of detail or just posts random pics may get more points then the person who goes out and buys a $3000 camera for 4 pics and just expects to win .maybe you cant get a pic of that tricky wrasse they all come out blurred...so post 10 blurred shots that shows the judges that you are trying for both participation and phtography:P

stands, light holders whatever little goodies you incorporate will def be looked at, not saying you "have" to post stand pics but being a bit creative might sway the judges for some points ya know

Who do we have to bribe to tell us who the judges are so we can bribe the judges....

Anyone want to teach me how to plumb a tank?

well as of right now im the only person who knows the judges...the judges dont even know the judges yet lol , im thinking once the contest officially starts i will cut communication with them unless someone has a family emergency or pms me with a problem, in whiich case ill pm all 5 judges right away.

and vice versa if a problem comes up with them.


in case anyones inerested reading this i am looking for more judges still, ive already had some volunteers, dont be shy

i could also change it so instead of saying on this date provide pics ,i could change it to by this date provide pics??


so oct 1 rst the start , by the 15th you need to provide emty tank shot, by nov1rst you need to provide rock pics etc etc.

wouldnt be so mandatory and would leave people more freedom to choose their own post dates??

I still think you had the dates right in the first place.

I guess I will have to start gathering some macro rock and making it "live". Glad I got vehicle insurance out of the way already, now I actually have money for this and my new lights

thats another reason for a full month of sign up , to give people a chance to save money or buy/aquire the things they need.

as it stands right now ill leave the dates as planned unless i see some major reason to change them

[reefwars]

i will leave the dates as they are at the most its only twice a month but i will chage it so it reads by a certain date not on a certain date
