Ok one of those random ideas again! ???How about we have a snail photography competition! Ok this would work by a poll which enables you to vote for a particular snail photograph. We could enter our best snail photos and after a certain amount of time the votes are counted and then you can see who's won! ;D Any ideas on this?

yeah it was only a few months ago its too soon. maybe next year... One of the rat sites I used to frequent did one every month. No prize, other than getting your rats piccie on the website though, just a bit of fun. Note I said "used to frequent" though ;D

Then maybe this could be an event every month? Most of us are going to get new photos of our snails every month and may wish to enter them in to the competition?

Nice idea. The fish board I go on does a pic of the month comp and it's a big hit. There's loads of snails on here so it's bound to be good lol. Obviously there would have to be limits and rules etc.
The last one must have been when I'd forgotten about this site.. 'cause I don't remember it lol.
I don't think it's too soon for another though. There's so many great pics people can enter that it would probably be easier to do them more often so everyone can enter at least one of the comps. Doing it once a year or something would mean chaos with -everyone- wanting to put their pic in lol. At least if there's one every month or so, people will have a chance to enter the next months comp.
Would it be just for land snails? Or would aquatic ones be allowed too?

Can't see why not........ Once month sounds good,and then maybe the twelve winners can enter a yearly comp for the photo of the year...

Yup, the fish board also started doing that. Another big hit.
I think the rules would take the most time to sort out... maybe lol. Would it be 1 pic per person or 2? How many to enter each month, 6,7,8 or what lol.

I don't think we should have aquatic snails as well, this is a land snail forum after all. and i think this time, we should only be allowed 1 pic each, it's much fairer :-)

Ok, I think the same as Sarah, that there should only be land snails. I also believe that everyone should be able to enter the competition. It would be held once a month for an unlimited number of people. However, there should only be one picture per person. I like Arno's idea that the winner of each month should enter a competition at the end of the year to see who has won overall. The only thing is that this would have to be done by a poll. The problem is that people could vote for their own picture? I'm not sure how this could be avoided. I'm glad that I have brought this subject back to life again. I do hope that we could have the competitions.

but on the cybersnail site when you vote on the poll, your email appears underneath it so you can see if anyone has voted for themselves

That would work but some people may not want their email address to be shown. In that case you vote for a photo then your name appears underneath it rather than your email.

I've just realised that the prize for the last competition was to appear on the homepage of petsnails and I never did it!! Sorry Arno, I'd completely forgotten about it. I'll add it in the next few days so it has a decent run before the next winner. Last time we did it with cybersnail because there are more registered members than here and it stops people voting twice. It'd be nice to allow guests to vote though, if we did that there'd be risk of people skewing the results but it'd also allow anyone and everyone to vote.

So, Paul, is it possible for us to have another competition some time soon?
