Actually not a fish.



There are lots of holidays in December.

Hanukkah


Christmas


Bodhi Day


Even your nondenominational white elephant gift exchange at work that everyone secretly hates.


I want to see your pets enjoying the holidays this month! Any holiday is fine, any way of celebrating is fine. Remember there is no skill limit so don't be afraid to post random phone pictures or whatever, its just for fun and a chance to do something good for a charity of your choice :justpost:


Theme: Holidays
Contest Period: Dec 3-31
Voting Period: Jan 1-3
Winner gets a donation to the charity of their choice!


:siren: Please pay attention to the rules! There are only 5 of them! It's not that hard! :siren:

Rules:
  • Post photos or GIFs that fit the monthly theme. Be creative! Good photography not required. Basic photoshop to adjust levels etc is ok, no adding things though. Some filters such as turning an image black and white are fine, please refrain from going full instagram though.
  • You may post up to three images per theme (can be different pets). Please label them clearly as entries.
  • Any image submitted must have been taken/made during the duration of the contest. It doesn't have to be your pet, but you have to take the picture.
  • Please vote for one entry only per month and don’t vote for your own images!
  • Pets are considered any animal that lives in captivity and regularly interacts with people

There are some really fantastic photographers participating in these contests and I love it! For people who are feeling a little intimidated here are some links with pointers, but don't get scared off. Any level of photographic quality is fine!

It was super close this time! I actually needed to ask a friend to pick one to break a tie but the winner this month is Stemmler and his fuzzy jewish friend! The floof, the yarmulke, it all came together in a perfect holiday pet picture. Congrats on the win and let me know what charity you would like me to donate to this month!
