February 2022 Photo Competition details

[beardie]

Hello again, everyone!

This month's theme is "Sleeping Beauty Beardies". So, pull out your cameras and capture some beautiful pictures of your sleeping bearded dragons!

Submissions are being accepted from now through Thursday, February 17th! Voting will begin February 18th through 24th. Winners will be announced on February 25th!

-- Please read all the rules/info below before posting. Some things have changed from prior months. --

How Do I Submit My Entry?​

Entries can be submitted by simply uploading them to the February 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? (rule updated this month)​

Please limit your submissions to one photo per person. We used to allow one per dragon, but it felt unfair, in the context of a friendly photo competition, to those who only have one, while a few of you have 4-6 dragons. If you accidentally uploaded more than one photo, please delete the one(s) you didn't want to have submitted.

What Should I Post?​

Pictures of your sleeping beauty beardie!!! Please include pictures that only have your bearded dragon. Human hands/arms in the picture with your beardie will also be allowed. Ultimately, post whatever sleeping beauty beardie 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! The exception is that human hands/arms can be in the pic with your beardie.

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!

Does the Beardie have to have their eyes closed?

I'll leave the interpretation of "Sleeping Beauty" up to you all. In the end, everyone is guided to vote on the best for the theme.

That leaves the temptation to put Devlyn into a blue dress as an option. Dancing in the clouds with a handsome prince.

I'd probably give that a like/vote... I've had the song "When you wish upon a star..." in my head since starting this photo competition.
