2013 Axolotl Calendar Competition

[NeekaLovesYou]

Bahahahaha! Ahhh always nice to see another axolotl lover in your area! People I talk to barely know anything about them!

Buuuut, to set it straight, we are nothing like TOWIE! I hate that show with a passion!

This is true - they're giving us a bad name! Essex axolotl lovers unite!

Hey, how's calendar stuff going? I'd really like to buy one before 2013!

Any update on this?

The entries for the 2013 Axolotl Calendar Competition are now posted here. Judging will take place over the next 10 days. If you entered and your photos are not present, you were notified via email what the problem was (and given the option of fixing the problem).

Please note! As always, any judge who entered the competition can't vote for their own photos (so technically they are at a disadvantage).

Says judging over the next 10 days, that was 4 weeks ago. Is there not going to be a calendar this year?

 

[Kaysie]

Last year the Calendar came out around the first week of December. I imagine John's just been a little slow on the uptake, as he is not the one who usually does the Calendar.

Do you think there will be a chance to get one here before Christmas?

 

[Kaysie]

I doubt it. I think last year there was issues with customs and things going overseas.

I see that 2013 calendars are (finally) for sale on cafepress- but the accompanying pictures are of the 2012 calendar. I just want to confirm that the 2013 calendars has been submitted to cafepress?

 

[Otterwoman]

DO NOT ORDER ONE OF THESE CALENDARS until the new calendar is announced. Cafe press always updates the calendar dates at the end of the year. The new calendar will be available by the beginning of next week. IF you order one now, you get a 2013 calendar with last year's pictures.

Any way we can see the winning pictures? Or do I have to be patient and wait?

 

[Kaysie]

You'll have to wait like the rest of us. We don't know the final layout until the calendar is published either.

 

[scooty16]

Okay, was only inquiring as they put up a thread with the winning pictures in, just did not know if they had done something similar this year, or whether it happened afterwards!

Also, I haven't meant to upset anyone, anything I have said has just been in jest, I know how busy everyone can be.

 

[Kaysie]

No harm, Scooty. This was an off-year, as Mark is normally in charge. John doesn't normally do the Calendar, so things worked a little differently. We'll all wait in suspense together!

I'll follow up with a thread for the winners of both calendars.

 

[scooty16]

Well done everyone! Some absolutely gorgeous pictures, what a hard one that must of been to judge! :happy:

 

[hacelepues]

Yay! I have to go tell my little buddies that they're famous!

 

[scooty16]

I told my mum Bongo had made it in, and when she went downstairs I heard her going to him 'You're famous now... yes you are, your famous!' hahaha!

 

[John]

Haha Nicola!
