The integrity of this contest has been brought into question, therefore until we can investigate this fully this poll is closed/suspended. At the conclusion of our investigation either this contest will be re-opened or it will be restarted minus an entry. I apologize for any inconvenience.

In other words....someone may have cheated. We are pulling information from the database today and will know for sure, at that time we will answer more questions.

how did someone cheat

 

[reefrunner69]

All questions will be answered once our investigation is concluded, but really there is only a couple of different ways someone could cheat

I'm Curious to figure out how could someone do such a thing.

Photo C now relettered Photo B is a pic of a members tank. I know this without a shadow of doubt.

This contest is sponsored by the Show off/Photography forum of the site, as far as subjects of your photo are concerned, while we do prefer they be of animals in your tank...the only requirements are that the submitter took the photo and they have the permission/right to post it to the forum. It is a photography contest, not a husbandry contest. One thing I should point out...all entries are supposed to include the scientific name of the critter and the common name, some general care info and the camera specs. There have been very few entries of late that have included this info.

or photo c that looks like a magazine pic

Well, that is kinda the idea, to submit what you feel is a good photo. I can personally guarantee you that the submission that was formerly sumission C was taken by the submitter and the fish is in the submitters tank.
