The winner will be selected by popular vote and the winner will receive a grand prize Bearded Dragon from DragonsDenHerp.com ! (If you cannot house another dragon, please let us know and your prize may be donated to the next runner-up or an alternative prize may be given.) Of course, the winning photo will go up on the homepage for all to see and envy!!
Here are the rules:
- Your photo must contain a living bearded dragon with a waving arm!

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! May the best photo win!

Arm waving is a great toppic for a photo. This will be a tricky one for me. My beardies haven't waved since they were babies, lol. Not sure how this will go....

Good luck all!

 

[Josh]

One hint to help your beardie wave may be to place a mirror in front of him/her... Best of luck everyone. May the best photo win!

I tried that, lol. Midna walks away from it and Yaddle licks the mirror (she's a weirdo )

 

[Daeyang]

Mine doesn't react to mirrors at all.. just stares, then walks off

 

[Aleena]

Yay! We have a new contest! I may not be able to do anything... but luckily I do have babies that do arm wave...

Where are the photos to be submitted? Here on this thread?

Well this Contest is over without one submission that I can see. I used to have lots of waving pics & vids from when my BDs were younger, but had a hard drive go bad & lost all my older pics. Teach me for not Backing things up, lol.

Personally, while specific situation Theme Contests are cool in theory, I find them unfair to the global membership. More times than not, a specific situation theme targets a particular group of keepers. Take this one for example, basically targeted at keepers with really young BDs or with BDs in a breeding or courting situation.

If themes are used, I feel considerations should be taken that it would include the whole membership. Possible Examples: 'Best Cute\Funny Situation Pics', 'Best Pic&Caption (related to the pic)', 'Best Live Feeder Chomps\Catch', 'Best Human Imitation (Natural - without dressing them up)'.

Unstaged things that are just everyday happenings caught on camera & show our pets personalities & characteristics that includes all ages of dragons & keepers.

I think we could have monthly 'Pic of the Month' contests, with no actual physical prize, other than the prestige of having the winner prominently displayed on the Forum for a month. This would alleviate the geographical problems with physical prizes. Live prizes are dependent on whether the Winner can house the prize.

Just my $.02.

So what happens with this now Josh. Does it just fade away?

 

[ThDude]

i was unsure of where to post the pics, i have several i took i just did not know where to put them. to bad its over, i had some good ones

Yeah, I saw some of them. I just couldn't get any arm waves and have not happened to catch any on camera.

 

[Daeyang]

I agree completely with germ, not everyone could really enter this contest. It was unfair for people who only have one beardie, that are fairly old and used to there surroundings.
It's only fair for those with multiple beardies who are agressive towards each other, or well..baby beardies.
Just my opinion..

Apologies folks. I thought this might have been a cool theme but it looks like it was too difficult.
Let's do a general Beardie photo contest with no theme. I will create a new thread today and we can start the submissions right away. Start taking photos NOW!
