Each months winner will have their winning picture added to the picture rotation at the top of the forum and a special icon will appear under their user name.

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... http://www.pitbull-chat.com/showthread.php?t=4107

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 cannot 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 The Contest:

There will be a monthly theme contest held for the best picture of a dog owned by a member of pitbull-chat.com. Each month a new theme will be announced and you may submit a picture of your dog portrayed or engaged in that theme.

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 cannot 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) example...
Screamin’Eagle’s Achilles @ 8 mos
