Shrimpo Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 What do you think if we get 10 members to participate in the best shrimp tank of the month contest? each one of the 10 members pay $3 participation fee, that is $30 total, the winner can use it as a gift certificate to get supplies from the forums Admin theshrimptank.com.

Doc4PC2 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 That would be a great contest, so we could see some of these awesome tanks! Love the idea, but they would have to show photos or video or both in the contest, so we could see all of the hard work and the great ideas.

metageologist Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I think this would be fun. I would add that the photos should have to be date stamped for the month of the contest and show the tank in its entirety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Let's keep it simple to encourage more people to participate, we will need at least one clear full tank shot, brief summary about plants/shrimp species, filtration and other equipment, estimated age of the tank. metageologist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h4n Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Seems like a good idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OblongShrimp Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Maybe we can get some of the sponsors to fund this instead of their monthly giveaway. That way we aren't asking members to fork over money to participate. Elo500 and miwu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc4PC2 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yeah, we would need a panel of judges, or by votes or something like that. It would have to be judges that don't know any of the people for fairness. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duff0712 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 Maybe have 3-4 qualities to use for each tank too. Like they do on cooking competitions. Style/taste (heh) etc -Duffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted September 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Maybe each month 1 or 2 judges volunteer to choose the winner, we can also integrate the ''Like'' feature along with the judge decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamashack Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 Why not post the pictures with no ID and let the members vote? On another forum I belong to the members who wish to participate have to submit 2 photos of the same thing, one for posting and a similar one with date etc for the administrator of the comp. to check, but not post. Only the administrator will know the ID of the submitters until the comp is judged. That way you minimise the chance of people voting simply for their friends. chibikaie, Shrimpo and Soothing Shrimp 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countryboy12484 Posted September 3, 2014 Report Share Posted September 3, 2014 That could work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc4PC2 Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 That's a good idea, or we could do different judges each month too, so the judges are never the same each month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted September 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 Great idea about hiding the ID, keep posting your opinions folks. What do you think if we make judge vote = 10 points and each like from members = 1 point? Example: we got 10 participants and 3 judges A,B,C. judges A and B voted for participant #4 that has 8 likes, that is 28 points, judge C voted for participant #7 that has 14 likes, that is 24 points. so the participant with the higher points is the winner.

metageologist Posted September 4, 2014 Report Share Posted September 4, 2014 That sound good Shrimpo. Would there be different categories each month such as tank size, high tech, low tech, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Lets get this thing started, I am willing to volunteer to pay the $30 gift certificate to the winner for this month. First we need at least 2 judges (not me) and 10 participants, start making a list with your user name and numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrimpo Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Great, now we have 2 judges and 1 participant, let's make this as easy and simple as it can be just like a test for the first month, your tank doesn't have to be the best in the world to enter.

featherblue Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ill enter; question tho. My shrimp live in a divided tank. Would a section count as a "tank", or would the entire 3 compartments be the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpo Posted September 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 It should be all 3 compartments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
