Ok I've taken the topics suggested & formed a poll. You have until this Friday 31/5/2013 at 23:59 to vote for your favourite topic. You don't need to post you've voted. Although if you have any questions then don't hesitate to ask. You will not see the results until after that time Don't forget it has to be able to be entered by all types of pet owners
By Action I mean anything that indicates movement. SingLe colour pet topics would be based on the main colour not just solid colour. Plants could be indoor, flowers, outdoor etc.
Once the vote is closed I will set up the thread to post the photos. The competition will close on a specific date & time (not sure whether that will be 1 or 2 weeks) & then I'll set up a poll which again will be secret until a week later. The details of all of this will be posted on the competition post.
PLEASE NOTE THIS COMPETITION IS FOR FUN ONLY - NO PRIZES ARE ON OFFER.

But, but I like prizes !!! Sounds like fun, but who decides the winner? I hope it's not a PHOTO thread that turns into a big conversation like the official competitions. I like photos, not words

This also sounds similar to something PFT suggested when the forum switched, not so much a competition but a challenge/ assignment .

I like photos, not words Photos only will be required for the competition (although a title or pet name would be useful so that it can be referred to in the voting poll), definitely no chitchat. Β The winner will be decided by those who vote on the final poll. This also sounds similar to something PFT suggested when the forum switched, not so much a competition but a challenge/ assignment . Whoops hope I didn't sound too school marmish

tonib - I think it is unfair if the 'coloured pets' competition topic gets the most votes and wins - because some people don't have black pets; I have a brown pet! This means that if the 'black pet' topic wins, I won't be able to enter, because I don't have a black pet.

I know this was for tonib but I wanted to say something. I believe this is a 'fun only competition'. You don't have to enter each one, there will always be another (if tonib makes another). I'm sure each section would end up getting a turn. As with most things, I would say that this is a trial run, so there is bound to be teething problems. Many competitions have criteria that result in a person being unable to enter, does 18+,or UK residents only ring a bell? ( I know the UK one doesn't affect you but for others, me , it does.

Yes, but as it is a fun competition, I don't see why there should be restrictions to certain people.

BT, I was only putting forward ideas & as judypops says there are always some competitions that don't met someone's pet's criteria. After all I couldn't enter one for a dog as I don't have a dog. I was trying to think of topics that all types of pet owners could enter - for example agility doesn't really cover snakes.
I'm sure there are other topics in the list that won't suit other members. We'll just have to wait & see what comes out of the vote.

That was NOT my question BT I asked how do I know if I have voted, nothing happened, or not what I expected to happen like on the other polls LOL I can still see my TICK and I did not make a note as to how many votes were there before I voted
