Update and New Contest!

Hello everyone

I apologise for the lack of an update and contest for the last couple of months however it was because I finished working fulltime and changed to fulltime study. The other reason I couldn't hold a contest is because I couldn't afford to buy premium memberships for contest prizes. However I recently received my tax return back from work so I can hold a contest now Contest details will be provided below in this journal so please have a look! I would love to have more participants this time around so please let your friends and fellow animal photography groups know about it.

I would also like to welcome our new members and watchers to the group (I am still getting around to welcoming everyone and handing out llamas so please be patient with me) When our group hits 1,000 members I am going to host a special event with lots of prizes so stay tuned! One of the competitions will involve a 1 month premium membership for the first person to take a screenshot of #Animal-Photo with 1,000 members and note the group or myself!

The other thing I wanted to mention is from now on I plan to have more little features and contests. For example, I plan to pick an animal every two weeks and feature people's photography of the particular animal I pick. I will also include some information about the animal to make the feature more interesting.

The final thing I wanted to say is that I am so proud of the members, watchers and artwork in #Animal-Photo. Every day I browse and comment on members artwork and I believe we have some of the best animal photography in our group! Keep up the awesome work guys

These are just a couple of ideas You are allowed to submit two photographs for the contest so pick your best! When you do pick your photograph/photographs, submit them to the 'Contest Folder' folder or if they are already submitted to the group let me know and I will move them temporarily.
