In order to make sure we get the calendar out in a timely fashion, and since we all just took loads of pics of our kitties with the holiday decorations, we're going to have the December contest EARLY!

The theme for December 2009 is: “While Visions of Catnip Danced In Their Heads†or Holiday Cats (any late-year holiday - Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc.)


Basics:
NO CATS CAN BE HARMED FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS CONTEST! Mildly annoyed
, yes, but not actually harmed (pretty much goes without saying).


1.Only one entry per month, but you can change your mind and submit a different photo during the submission period.
2.No photo that has been featured in a past TCS Calendar can be submitted again. However, photos that were not in the top 3 (or 4 as the case may have been) can be resubmitted if they apply to the theme of the month. Additionally, photos can be submitted for more than one month but can only be voted in to the Calendar (top 3) once.
3.Rights to the winning photographs are granted to www.thecatsite.com for use in future TCS projects made available for purchase to other members and the public.

Photography

1. Photo and all rights must be owned by the submitter.
2.Photo entry must be at least 480 x 640 pixels, with higher resolution/size availability (by email) preferred.
3.Photo must be clear, focused, not manipulated by Photoshop (basic altering such as cropping, brightness, etc. is allowed) and apply to the theme of the month.
4.Photos that do not necessarily meet #2 and #3 can be entered, but will not make the final voting rounds.

Please be sure to tell us the name of the kitty(ies) in the photo, for award/future purposes.

The prize will include points, a custom signature and bragging rights for having the first, second and third place Ms. or Mr. January. The 1st place winner will also have a copy of the 2010 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 will 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 February 6, 2009.

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

Ok, just for fun I'll go with my jolly santa cat in his santa coat
(although I think he's having visions of murder, rather than catnip!

Shadow: I'm no elf or Santa's lil' helper? Humbug!



It's not just any self respecting cat that'd let her people do this to her!

Now that is a great pic. I agree, the look on his face is one of murder LOL

We had a couple winners with the dates on them.
Don't worry about editing them out...I can do it pixel by pixel if need be for the calendar.
