There are some amazing pics in there

I agree whith the potential for it to become biased based on friendships or maybe if you know someone know "needs" the prize or someone who helps them out a lot... its natural.

It being annoymous is the only way to avoid conflict and keep it fun in the long run.

Also, i think there should maybe be a restriction on who can enter based on activity just because there are prizes involved. Loads of different forums i use, not just reps one, may have a competition and people always get pissed when "Mr X" with 1 post scoops the prize.

Also, now i'm off and running , i think it was a bad idea to have a "100% general" for the subject. Its too vague and i have no idea how you could possibly pic a winner based on the fact that many are "the best" for different reasons... the cutest, the rarest shot, the funniest, the most threatening looking etc. You could have given it a subject but still included all reps...

Lets not panic too soon this picture competition is all about a bit of fun and showing off your 'cool' pictures.

We made a general one for the first one so everyone can have a go, there would have been a lot of unhappy campers if we had made the first one for say Snakes only.

Basically, we have thought it through (supprisingly) and I assure you we will make it as fair as we can in future competitions so that keepers off all different exotics have a good shot at wining. Obviously we can not cater for ALL in the first comp. I think it was a fair comment by someone earlier that a snake or lizard picture might win this first comp, but this actualy wasnt the case in the first competition we held back in 2006 a tortoise (hatching) picture won... why? because it was an amazing picture.

I think all the pics posted so far are great and I'm really enjoying checking out the new ones when I log in. I'm sure the mods will make sure it's judged fairly and at the end of the day, like t-bo said, it's all about the fun of taking part and showing of 'cool' pics that should be the most important thing - no prize is as important as the pride we have in our reps and this is a lovely opportunity to show them off.

Personally I will always vote for the one out of the 10 that I feel is the best picture. I really could not give a stuff who took it.
