melbournebetta Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 That's right! Best thing you'll ever do this year is about to happen, it's the 2011 Photo shoot (I've been watching too much of Britan's next top model) so start buffing that lense, 'scaping those tanks and thinking up them creative ideas for a lil photoshoot for the end of the year - a friendly competition inviting y'all to get involved, celebrate another year of fish keeping and show off in any of the following categories: Xmas Themed Fishy Photo (Must feature a fish) Planted Tank (With or without fush) Fish-or-plant-related Macro (close up) Betta shot (wilds, splendens, traditional, creative) Miscellaneous fish or inverts shot Please send up to 2 entries per category to: melbourne.betta@gmail.com along with the following: Entrant Name: Category: Title: Notes (such as fish/plant/invert species or other details): Judging/voting to be announced - nothin' too fancy, probably popular choice.... Entries in by December 15, so we've got a month to get shootin' Please, no overly photoshopped or manipulated images, send them through as max 300 dpi / 1000px x 1000px Prizes will consist of some insanely interesting badge to place in your signature.... along side the AusAquascaping Comp ones.
