Okay guys, we only have 4 entries for the June POTM contest!

Send those photos in ASAP so we can have a contest again this month, or it will have to be 'pushed off' until next month.

How to Enter:

Photo entries must be submitted by email to thepufferforum@hotmail.com by the 25th of the current month. Do NOT post your entries in this forum! They must be submitted via email.

Please include your forum username in the subject or body of the email! Without this identifier we have no idea who submitted the photo and it will NOT be entered into the contest.

Voting will begin on the 1st of the following month, via a Poll, and continue for 10 days, at which point the winner will be announced.

Entrant must try to provide as much of the following information as possible with their pictures:

A. Puffer pictures:
- Species
- Name of Puffer
- Age (if known)
- Size
- Brief description - ie location if photographed on dive or at public aquarium, tankmates, etc.

Pictures must meet the following technical specifications:
- File format: JPEG
- File size: 250kb or less.
- Physical size: 800 pixels or less in any direction.

Note: Any picture not meeting these requirements possibly may not be considered for the contest due to the time required to alter the pictures. (You can easily resize your image here: http://www.imageeditor.net/ )

An example of a proper entry is as follows:
Email Subject:
Joe-Bobs puffer photo entry for February

Email Body:
Here is my entry for February's contests.

My Dwarf puffer "Puffy":
- Species: Carinotetraodon travancoricus
- Age: 2 years

Email Attachments:

More like 60 votes but okay, and not all 3400+ members are active. I wish people would be more willing to enter though.

well.. I came a very close second last month... but it was to a very very worthy winner...

my plan now is to keep entering every month until everybody gets sick of the sight of him, and votes him to win so they don't have to look at him any more...

he may even get a disguise one month hmmmm...

...my evil plan could just work you know mwuhuhuhahahahaha
