Behind the scenes myself, Barrie Shutt, Marianne, Hezz, and BB have been plotting ;D We have been discussing how to make the contests better and we have some exciting things to come.
Barrie has kindly offered to have rosettes made for the members that win the next budgerigar contest which will start on the 1st June. These rosettes will be awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places.
Now this is where everyone can join in and have their say. We want to have a photo of a budgie in the middle of rosettes so we have decided to set up a mini contest where everyone can enter their photographs of their budgies and the winner will have their budgie featured on the rosettes.
You can enter as many times as you like so just choose your favourite photos or its a good excuse to get out the camera and take some new ones
There are only a few guidelines:
There must only be one budgerigar in each photograph, if there are several then it will not be accepted.
The photograph must be of a good quality so no blurry, unfocused, or grainy shots.
There is no theme to this contest but we need a photograph that shows your budgie at its best so that we can use it for the contest.
Here are examples.
Good example:
Bad Example:
Make sure nothing in the photograph is blocking a part of your budgie or this will make it impossible to use so no missing wings etc :)This is to make it easier for the budgie to be cut out of the background using photoshop so that it looks good on the rosette.
Here is an example of a photo that can't be used:
Please send your entries to me, Rachael Kellett, by messaging me on the forum, or if you are unable to work it out then you may send them to budgerigarsforum@gmail.com but by private messaging on here would be easier for me
Entries will be accepted until midnight on the 31st May and then a poll will be started where you can vote for your favourites.
I can't wait to see photographs of all your happy, healthy, bright eyed budgies!
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask
