It’s competition time! This is your chance to get your photo in the 2008 Caudata.org calendar. This year we’re starting the calendar photo competition early to avoid the rush we had last year. The rules are simple:
  • The competition is open to all users
  • The photo must be of caudata either in captivity or the wild
  • The photo must belong to you i.e. you took it or own the copyright to it.
  • The photo is in a digital format – preferably JPEG
  • The photo must be a minimum resolution of 2000 x 1500 pixels – the more pixels the better.
To enter simply email your picture to photocomp@caudata.org
An individual may submit a maximum of 5 photos. Copyright of your picture remains yours – use in the calendar is by kind permission of the owner.

Photos that meet the above criteria will, at some point, be displayed in an area of the gallery for all to enjoy and discuss. If you do not wish your entry to be displayed publicly please state so in your email.

Last years calendar was great – lets see if we can make next years even better.

GOOD LUCK!

Bigger is better, and if you do use JPEG/JPG, try to avoid using much compression please.
 
When's the closing date?
 
The closing date is Sunday 16th September so that it can go on sale around the beginning of October.

Thanks for all the submissions so far - keep 'em coming!
 
Is there a set date as to when some of the pictures will be availible to see on the forum? I'm curious as to see what the pics will look like.
 
Mark, did you get my submissions? Sometimes Gmail has issues with sending large files.
 
I got them thanks Kaysie.

Ryan -I've asked John about the gallery area so depending on how busy he is we should have something soon.

Folks - the submissions have slowed down and we're a long way from having a calendars worth. Keep 'em coming folks!
 
Mark, did you get my second set of submissions (two separate emails)?
 
Got them, thanks. :D
 
Hey Mark, send you an entry via Gmail, hope you got it...
 
I know you're concerned about whether your photo went through or not. However we don't need to post every time we send Mark a photo.

If your photo doesn't appear in his Calendar category in the Member Galleries within 10 days or so then contact him directly. Mark doesn't get paid to work here so he's not glued to his email all the time, so photos don't appear instantaneously.
 
The deadline draws near... what's the status report, Mark?
 
The status is we need MORE photos! This is a final call for entries. If you have a photo you’re proud of now’s the time to submit it to the competition. Don’t be shy…. the email address to send originals to is photocomp@caudata.org.

The closing date may have to be extended because I’m out of the country for the next few weeks and may not have internet access.
 
I have a photo I have yet to take that I want to submit. Seriously. Can we kick that date back to the end of this month?
 
No problem. I'll be back around the 2nd week of October so we can kick the closing date back till then. All going well the calendar can be on sale for the end of Oct. Plenty of time for Christmas shopping :D.
 
So who chooses what pics make it to the calender? One person, the mods, or is it decided by the people?

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
