About Contest and Contest Rules

Contest Rules:

* Each member is only allowed to enter one picture per category per month, if you submit additional pictures, they will be promptly removed.

* Photos should be no larger than 800 x 800 pixels.

* Post your entry as an embedded image, not an attachment. Embedded means that your image is hosted either here on Game-Dog in our galleries, or on Photobucket or some other photo host. That photo host then generates BB code (ie, [bracketed] code) which you paste into the body of a message, causing the picture to show directly in your post.

* The dog pictured must be owned by you, if the dog is deceased, it must have died under your ownership.

* Please include your dog's call name with your entry, to aid in the voting process.

* Near the end of the month, entries will close and a post for voting will be put up. You may vote once per category.

* If your dog wins a monthly contest, you may not enter that same picture for the rest of the year. You may re-enter the same dog as often as you wish, as long as you use a different picture each time. A championship vote shall be held at the end of the year for all dogs that won a particular category, so it would be to your benefit to leave your entry hosted at the same URL if you win a monthly category.

If you post a picture that violates these rules, it may be subject to immediate removal and will require resubmission, conforming to these rules, to be included in the contest.

Quick breakdown of the categories:

Male: All adult male dogs.
Female: All adult female dogs.
Puppy: Puppies 12 months of age or younger.
Pet: Any pet, any type, any breed.

Please remember, this contest is for fun! Participate in the spirit of the contest as it is intended. Don't campaign for your dog, or invite friends to vote for your entry. Don't make disparaging remarks about other dogs entered. (If you feel there is a care issue, feel free to PM the user or start a new thread.) Keep the photo contest threads clean and friendly so everybody can enjoy!

Rule change, 4/15/08

 

Just a reminder on this one:

3. Do not post images, posts or links with dogs acting aggressive/vicious/intimidating etc. regardless of what you think the nature of the breed is. Our purpose is NOT to contribute to the negative image people have of the APBT. In the same vein, do not post negative press stories/videos about “APBT attacks,” as these will be removed by the staff.

 

Rule change! Size limit added. This is in response to some very large photos being entered and bogging down the works.

 

Rule update. Entries should be posted as an embedded image, not an attachment.

 

can we (the computer illiterate) get a clarification here? i personally use photobucket and post pics simply using the IMG tags...is that kosher?
im learning a bit every day ( photobucket is VERY user friendly and i can now resize pics there, hooraay for me!)

 

Here's how it reads in the rules above:

"* Post your entry as an embedded image, not an attachment. Embedded means that your image is hosted either here on Game-Dog in our galleries, or on Photobucket or some other photo host. That photo host then generates BB code (ie, [bracketed] code) which you paste into the body of a message, causing the picture to show directly in your post."

I can make a "how to post pics" sticky if there isn't one already.

 

Lindsay, I don't think we have a how to post pics that would be great if you could that

 

**Please read the rules carefully, they have changed**
