Well, in advance i'd like to apologise to the mods and admins if this is indeed in the wrong section. Seeing as though the community has been dying lately, i think it's time we need to make the competitions more lively than just photography. Do any of you have any original ideas for competitions? If so, suggest them, and Lisa will hopefully accept them, and implement them! ( Sorry for not asking you in pm, Lisa.)
My ideas: Snail Poetry Snail Jokes Snail meals
And that's about it.

Great ideas - I'm not sure how popular they'd be at the moment, with it being so quiet here lately though. I'm struggling to get people to post pics for the photography comps. If enough people express an interest in one of your ideas though, I'll gladly give it a go

Hows about "The photo that would have been ace had it been in focus"? We've probably all got otherwise brilliant photos that were spoilt by being out of focus . . . I know I have Ali. P.s. Not that good at poetry but I'd give it a go . . .

How about snail racing? Obviously we couldn't all race our snails together - but if we were to agree on a particular distance and be trusting about our times?

*old thread resurrection*
Who runs the comps now?
I like the snail poetry idea - come up with a 5 line poem - each line begins with S, N, A, I, L....?!

So, here are my initial thoughs on snaily competitions... Monthly, there could be snail photography competition, much like the ones that used to run here, where everyone submits to the organiser a pic of their favourite snail/s for consideration. These would then be voted on or judged by a pre-selected person, and the winner would recieve the glorious title of having the "Snail of The Month" - perhaps The Snail Sanctuary would be willing to provide a winners certificate for this - with name, small version of the pic, and the date....? All the piccies would be sent to the selected person via PM or email and then these would be posted in a thread (or maybe Ade would let us have a section on SnailsOnParade for something like this??? ;D) and then they are all anonymous - only the organiser knows who they belong to... Then we can either put them up for a vote, or the previous winner could be the guest judge and pick their favourite...? Then alongside this, we could have a more involved competiton for which the winner receives the fabulous £20 to spend in TarantulaBarn's shop ;D This would be the poetry or snaily craft, and please, other ideas welcome!!!! This could be monthly (if I can figure out the logistics of it!!!) or bi-monthly, and, would most likely be a case of voting for your favourite - unless again, we want to share out judging expertise... !!! ***So peeps, what do you all think???*** *cross posted in petsnails.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=comps&thread=7573*

In the interests of clarity, I think it's best to confine the discussion to just one thread, so I'm locking this one. We can add our thoughts on the other thread.
