July Contest: Noses and Whiskers and Tongues...Oh My!

[valanhb]

We're doing a new series of contests starring....YOUR KITTIES!

The theme for July is Noses and Whiskers and Tongues. The photo's focal point or main point of interest should be your kitty's nose or whiskers or tongue.

Rules: Only one photo per member can be submitted, but you can change your mind and post a better picture throughout the submission period. You must own the rights to the photo (i.e. if you didn't take the picture, it's not yours), it must be clear, not photoshopped (although basic altering, such as cropping, brightness, etc. is allowed), and applies to the theme of the month. No cats can be harmed for the purposes of this contest! Mildly annoyed, yes, but not actually harmed (pretty much goes without saying). The winner will be chosen through a narrowing down process by the site team to the top 10 submissions, and then a popular vote via poll by the members will choose our top 3 winners!

Please be sure to tell us the name of the kitty(ies) in the photo, for award/future purposes. The photo size should be 480x640 (pixels) or larger so we can use it for print.

The prize will include, points, a custom signature and bragging rights for having the first, second and third place Ms. or Mr. July. The 1st place winner will also have a copy of the 2009 Cats of TheCatSite Calendar sent to them when it's finished. The calendar will include at least the top 3 place cats (possibly more depending on how close the votes are) from each monthly contest!

We also need to mention that winners may be asked to email full sized versions of the photograph to a moderator, and winning images will be used for future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public (see above).

Deadline for submission is July 23, 2008.

All members, moderators, admin, and site owner are eligible for this contest.

This is one of my best pics ever, it's like you are looking straight into a cats soul! It has such a surreal feel to it. *sigh* I am still thinking about studying photography...

Miss Sadie's pink nose.
Edit...I don't know where the original picture is, so don't choose Sadie's picture...just enjoy.
Good luck to all of you.

Here is Tubee's "I want to play wrestle" face. He does it every time he wants to wrestle with us or one of the other cats.



Hope you like it!

Oo! This will be fun! Since I've only had my kittens for a short time, I don't already have any photos like this...gives me an excuse to take more! Molly has the most fascinating whiskers...they are faintly striped just like her body. I wonder if I can get a good picture of them!

This is Booger and she wants to show off her tongue!
