Yes you read the title right, the contests go on!!!
I have contacted our sponsor and they are willing to uphold their offer.
For those who are new (well new to the contest lol) my name is Rachael and I am the forums' official contest organiser.
The contests will begin on the first day of every month and will be open to every member of the forum.
The entries will all be judged by a poll no member, moderator, or staff member will be excluded from entering.
Each month a theme will be chosen and all you have to do is choose a photograph of your budgie/ budgies matching that theme and enter it into the competition. The photo you choose to enter must be a recent one, taken within the last six months.
If a non-u.k member wins the contest then arrangements will have to be made, if the winner is willing to pay postage costs or maybe auction off the prize and give the money to the winner to spend at an online shop in their country. If or when this happens we will have to sort it out.
Now for the RULES:
Only one entry is allowed per forum member so choose your entry very carefully.
Photographs entered must be only budgerigars, be of good quality, which means no blurry, unfocused shots. This is a contest after all. Other species of birds may be in the photograph as long as the budgie is the main focus.
Each month there will be a theme for the coontest so any entries that the contest organiser does not feel matches this theme will not be accepted, but you will be given the chance to resubmit a replacement.
If ever, for whatever reason, you are not happy with the contest organisers decision on an entry then you may appeal against it and another member will be brought in to give a second opinion although I doubt that will ever be needed ;D
Your entry must not have any enhancements such as sparkly emoticons or text, although cropping within reason will be allowed.
The winner of this months contest will get to choose the theme for the next months contest.
For this month we have the wonderfu Northern Parrots at www.24parrot.com/ who are offering a selection of goodies to the winner of this months contest.
The goodies are:
Palm Worm:
Kiwi Budgie Treat Sticks:
Pretty Bird Natural Gold:
Mini Bird Kabob:
Hideaway foraging box feeder and refill:
Flex walk cage perch:
Tacey won the last contest and she chose the theme which is:
Preening Budgies!
