100% my fault.
There are 2 contests:
1) fun and cheep linear grow out $25 to get in, payout will be $15X the number of contestants (currently $150)
2) Bawler color up contest, it sold out in about an hour. $300 entrance with a $600 prize
The contest are going to run 6 months from October 1 just for ease, you can join either or both but the color up is closed unless I can get a 7th frag and then the prize would be $700
You have to take a and post a starting photo in the appropriate thread ( there will be one thread for each contest) on or before the Sunday the 17th of October.
You must post one progress photo in each contest thread for which you are entered every month.
You must post one introduction post describing yourself and your system in each contest thread for which you are entered during October.
You must provide your own plastic ruler similar to the ruler used in the last contest (inches and millimeters). you may reuse the one from the last contest.
Linear grow out contestants must position their frag in the same location for the duration of the contest, progress photos must be taken from the same perspective as the starting photo. I will decide the winner on overall length.
Bawler color up contest may relocate their coral. Monthly progress photos need to include one top down and one side view.
Bawler color up contest will be decided by vote of the contestants. Each contestant will cast a vote for the coral they find to be the best looking other than their own. I will cast a tie breaking vote if need be (I sure hope not)
Linear contestants will be measured but the overall length that has living tissue, if you start to STN or RTN, you get credit for what part is alive at the end of the contest,
Bawler color up contestants may submit any of their progress photos for the final submission. To be eligible for final submission, it must have been submitted as a previous month's progress photo or have been taken during the last month of the contest.
I might add some more clarifications but ultimately, the one contest is to see who can grow the longest coral and the other is to see who can get the best colors.
One thing I'm trying to quantify on the bawler contest is that it is a color up contest NOT a photoshop skilz contest. I'm chewing on photos being cell phone/ipad/ PaS device photos with no post production. Or, allowing DSLR with post production but require hosted copies in RAW of all submissions. I could use suggestions on this.
