January 2022 Photo Competition details

[beardie]

Hey there everyone, and Happy New Year!

This month's theme is "Goofballs". So, pull out your cameras and get some fun and festive pictures of your bearded dragons!

Submissions are being accepted from now through Sunday, January 23rd! Voting will begin January 24th through 30th. Winners will be announced on January 31st!

How Do I Submit My Entry?​

Entries can be submitted by simply uploading them to the January Photo Competition media category. You must be registered and logged in to see the green "Add media" button.

Can I Submit a Photoshopped Image?​

In the past we had separate competitions between "unmodified" pictures and "photoshopped" pictures. We may return to that in the future, but for now, yes you may submit either an "unmodified" picture, or what that you've decorated up with your favorite photo editor!

How Many Can I Upload?​

Please limit your submissions to only one photo per bearded dragon. If you have 2 dragons, you may submit two photos... If you have 3... well, you get the idea! If you accidentally uploaded more than you were supposed to, please delete the one(s) you didn't want to have submitted.

What Should I Post?​

Goofball pictures of your bearded dragons, of course!!! Please include pictures that only have your bearded dragon. Dressed up, odd sleeping positions, etc. Ultimately, whatever goofball picture you think other members will vote for!

What Should I NOT Post?​

Pictures that are not only bearded dragons. No people, cats, dogs, kids, etc. Please keep your submissions limited to bearded dragons!

What If I Experience a Problem Uploading?​

Simply reply on this thread. I'll be watching it for any issues people have with the photo competition uploads.

What Do I Get If I Win?​

This competition is mostly just for fun and community! BUT...

• First prize will get 1 year of ad-free access to the site (not compounded for prior winners, but will extend from date of new competition end).
• Second prize will get 6 months of ad-free access to the site (not compounded for prior winners, but will extend from date of new competition end).
• Third prize will get 3 months of ad-free access to the site (not compounded for prior winners, but will extend from date of new competition end).
• First through third place will also all get a shiny banner/badge next to their name as a "Photo Comp Winner".

If you already enjoy ad-free access due to being an active member (more than 100 posts), I thank you for being a great part of the community, but there is nothing extra beyond the banner/badge.

I'm really looking forward to see what you all come up with! Good luck!

Hey, just wondering if I could post a pic of one of my previous beardies, i’ve got a stupid picture of him playing with a scrap of fabric!

 

[beardie]

So far, I’ve been allowing for past beardies in the competitions. That may change at some point. But for now, no problem.

 

[Pancake151]

Thanks for letting me know!

I feel a little bad having a hooman in the pic I submitted, but no face is shown so I hope everyone understands. It IS a goofball pic of Devlyn. Hope there is a side eye of judgment category soon, I have so many judgment eye pics

I did see that. I decided to allow it without following up with you, since as you noted, no face was in the shot. I may be more strict about it in the future... maybe being specific that "hands/arms" would be the limit. But for now, I'll allow it. If you have a better picture you wanted to submit, you have until Sunday to change it. Just upload one you like better (if you have one), and "Delete" the older one. I've enabled for people to be able to delete their own during the submission window.
