Photo Competition - 2013 Caudata.org Calendar

Alright, to get the judging ball rolling, the first 10 members to Private Message me can be judges of both competitions. Keep in mind that if you entered the competitions, you can't vote for your own photos, so it might be a slight disadvantage to winning if you ask to be a judge!
 
Still have some judging spots available - send me a private message.

The entries for the 2013 Calendar Competition are now posted here (still uploading as of this post). 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).

My entries met requirements asked for and are not listed on the entries thread, I haven't received any email either as regarding being notified if they were unacceptable or given an option either.

Are they yet be up-loaded or has there been a problem with the 4 of them?

That's odd, I prepped them for upload. I'll fix the problem tonight. Sorry for the oversight.

That's ok John! :) Not a problem, just thought that maybe I had sent them to the wrong email or something! :rolleyes:
 
I've added 3 of your 4 photos. Really, 3 of those photos are variations on the same photo.

PS: Just a reminder that none of the judges were able to vote for any of their own photos (though most of the judges didn't enter the competition this year. I didn't judge this year either).
 
I'll follow up with a thread for the winners of both calendars.
 
A BIG thank you to John for running the competition this year. I've been going through a rather hectic career change and didn't think I'd have time to manage it this year. Things are settling down now so I should be back on calendar duty next year.


Thanks for the votes.:happy:
 
I'm always slow, but I get there in the end :p.
 
Yes, thank you John! Cannot wait to see the finished product :happy:

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
