    Howdy folks! The crowd has spoken and what they say is "No Theme" for our upcoming photo contest so let's get snapping! I'm very excited about this contest and hope you all are too!!

    Guidelines:

    Please submit your photo to us at photocontest @ 3reef . com (take out the spaces) no later than Sunday, July 8, 2007. All images must be in .jpeg format and sized to 640X480. Also please include your 3Reef user name in your message.

    Please submit only one photo. This will help for the voting poll. If you want to change a picture that you have submitted before the deadline, send a message plus the substitution picture to the address above.

    No off topic photos will be accepted. Let's keep it aquarium related.

    Altered photos will be disqualified. You can adjust the contrast if you like, but do not get sneaky. Since no alterations can be done to submitted photos, shooting and submitting pictures in RAW format is not necessary.

    And lastly, no stock photography. This must be a photo taken by you of your tank, or your fish or coral.

    On July 9, I will start a poll with all of the submitted photos and 3reef members will be able to vote for their favorite. All photo submissions will be anonymous so you won't know whose picture that you will be voting for.

    Thanks everyone and let the games begin!!

    You guys ask too many hard questions :) I will have someone who knows the jargon better to post size limitations and ask Matt about photos of other people's tanks.

    Edit: Size limitations have been added to the original post. Thanks Jason!

    Edited original post to ask that user names be included with photo submissions and that all photos be in jpeg format.

    I've got an e-mail in my inbox that has a .pdf attachment Because I'm leery of opening unfamiliar e-mails, I ask that if somebody here sent me a picture a pdf format please let me know and please resend it to me in .jpeg format if possible.

    Thanks everyone!

    OK, thanks. If nobody claims the .pdf file before the cutoff, it's going in the dumper :)

    FYI - I have a ton of Kent Marine and SeaChem supplements that I will throw in for the winner of this contest. Good luck everybody!
