Picture contest...*amended*
Picture contest...*amended*
OK, so I proposed a monthly picture contest in order to possibly create an annual calendar to benefit gundogforum.com (if things work out). If you haven't read the rules yet, you can view the original thread here:
viewtopic.php?f=69&t=16259
But we have decided that if we actually go through with the calendar, the contest would have to end before the end of the year in order to give us time to produce the product. So, in light of that realization, I have decided to award 2 monthly picture awards in the month of January (one for January and one for February). The general idea is to submit pictures that in some way represent the month. For January we generally are pursuing a "winter" theme, whatever that means where you live.
For the February pics, I am not going to suggest a rigid theme but rather a few ideas:
Groundhog Day (spring, more winter, repetitive, etc)
Valentine's Day (pink, love, hearts, whatever)
and anything else you may think of
Like January, February's monthly prize will be your choice of a $25 gift card to Cabela's or a premier membership to gundogforum.com for one year. The deadline for entries will be January 31st at 6:00 eastern for BOTH months. And rest assured, any pictures submitted to the previous thread are eligible for both months.
There is now 50 bucks total on the line, and the competition is getting better by the minute. So get out there and snap your best pics and get them to me by 1/31! Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions, and especially to all the wonderful contributors so far!!

Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Question,
I have some great pictures of a dog that I did own, but no longer own. Is this okay for me to submit them?

Re: Picture contest...*amended*
I would prefer the pictures and the dogs be owned by the person who submits them. It will help to avoid any potential copyright problems.
Thanks,
Rob

Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Why is the original topic locked. Is it to late to post a pic.
Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Yeah I think this instructional one should be locked and the other one remain open till the end of the month.Lawdog wrote:Why is the original topic locked. Is it to late to post a pic.

Re: Picture contest...*amended*
I asked that the original one be locked so everyone would see the amendments posted here without having to sort through 8 pages and possibly miss that we're doing 2 separate contests in January. All photos posted there count in the contest. Any new photos should be posted here. Sorry for the confusion!

That's what happens when your girlfriend tries to have fun with a litter of puppies! She had all 4 of the ones I had left dressed up and fighting over their costumes.
Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Lantz,
Adorable. I have a pup roughly the same age. We are all just having a blast together!

Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Have to post this pup at 5 weeks. Not complaint to a theme but precious just the same.
Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Very nice!!
So fun to see the light in those pups eyes, at this age... nothing is better than a wing on a string and a belly rub.
Oh yeah, and a nice pair a shoes to chew up

Some more entries
Daisy May, her first point.
Daisy May, all tuckered out
Sadie Marie, she wears her heart out on her side.
Whispering sweet nothings,
The place she really calls home
I'll have to get some better pictures of Sadie Marie showing off her big heart while out hunting

Dirty Steve,
Something tells me you are going to win one of the months before this thing is over. Some great shots so far.

If somebody can photoshop the collar out I would very much appreciate it. It's one of my favorites of him but the collars are distracting.Put a brown collar on that dog and get rid of that ugly green and black brick around the neck and that is primo!!! I bet someone here can photoshop that out.

How are you doing?
Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Good news!
After realizing I have probably bit off more than I can chew, I have recruited some superior talent to assist me. In addition to the original mastermind
(Eddie F), I have also persuaded a couple of others to help me sort through all of these wonderful pictures. Tim Schoenborn and Don have magnanimously agreed to donate their special talents and expertise in this contest, and I am very grateful for their generous offers.
I now feel like we will have a wonderful contest with some of the best talent on the new "advisory panel" . They have even generously agreed to allow me to continue to participate.

Re: Picture contest...*amended*
Dang so many AWESOME AWESOME Pictures.
I think it's down to Lawdog, the one of Shady pointing by the cliff or Dirtysteve's Buddy dog.
I think all of us have great pictures, but those ones just say "January"

I would at least like to see a shag in the mix, not a winter picture, but a favorite from my trip to North Dakota, a sunrise on the last morning in September on a covey of huns!
