MONTHLY DOG PHOTO CONTEST RULES

PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING:
Each member is only allowed to enter one picture per month, if you submit additional pictures, they will be promptly removed.

The dog pictured must be owned by you, if the dog is deceased, it must have died under your ownership.

All pictures submitted can be posted from the gallery on this site, or posted from a web based photo hosting site such as photobucket.com or FLICKR. For directions and examples of how to accomplish a successful picture post in this contest...

DO NOT POST PICTURES AS ATTACHMENTS.

You are not allowed to enter a dog in the monthly contests until you have made at least 50 posts and have been registered for 30 days or more.

If your dog wins a monthly contest the same picture can not be used again. The same dog can be entered in later contests, but it must be a different picture. Otherwise you may submit the same picture of a given dog each month until it wins.

If you post a picture that violates these rules, it will be subject to immediate removal and will require resubmission, conforming to these rules, to be included in the contest.

About Contest:

There will be a monthly contest held for the best picture of a dog owned by a member of pitbull-chat.com. Submissions will be of a dog of: either sex, of any breed, of any age (puppy or adult), and posed in any way. They CAN NOT be wearing any costumes, hats, etc. with the exception of any type of service/working vests, and any type of harness. Besides those exceptions the dog can only be wearing a collar as to not conflict with our “themed” photo contest. The contest will be judged on the quality/creativity of the picture, and the overall health state and look of the dog.

Every picture that is submitted and falls within the above rules will be eligible to be voted on as a winner.
You will have 2 weeks to submit your pictures.

Nominations will be opened for 1 week to pick the top 10 candidates. If there are less than 10 entries in the first 2 weeks, additional submitting will be allowed for the 3rd week until 10 entries are submitted.

A poll will be set up for the 4 th week along with the top 10 pictures and voting will continue through the end of the month.

The winner will be announced the first week of the following month.

If, in a contest, there is a tie between two or more dogs, there will be a 24 hour tie-breaker voted on by members. If there is still a tie, there will be an additional 24 hour tie-breaker voted on by staff members, and if a decision still can not be made, the first available administrator will decide the winner.

Each entry should name the owner (their pitbull-chat.com handle) the dog’s name and age. For example, a reply should read…

(Your username) (the Dog’s Name) (the Dog’s Age)
Screamin’Eagle’s Achilles @ 8 mos

Also please refrain from posting replies such as “nice dog,” “I love/vote for this one,” or “great pic” in this thread. These types of replies will be removed.
