Photo Contest Entry Thread: May 2010 - What are you playing with?  

post #1 of 30

Thread Starter 
The theme for May 2010 is: What are you playing with? or things cats play with that aren't meant to be toys.

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. May. The 1st place winner will also have a copy of the 2011 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 May 21, 2010.

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

The list of themes can be found in this thread: http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/sho....php?p=2829906

Just as a Mod's Note here:

I have been super busy lately, so the Vote For April 2010 thread is late. It is coming soon! I promise!

I cut off the handles of a paper bag, because I didn't want Larry to get his head caught in the handles if he was playing around in the paper bag. So, what does he play with? The handles, of course. *sigh*

This is a tough one. I usually miss the best pictures because by the time I get my camera the kits have moved on to something else. I do have a few to choose from but need help deciding.

This is a tough one, I don't have too many non-toy play shots, but here's Genever playing with a moth:



Bigger version here.

If I come up with any better ones, I may change my mind.

You captured that wonderfully! I wanted to post a picture of Annie playing with her own tail - after all, you're never without a toy when it's attached! But I could not get or find a decent picture that actually captures her playing with it. Still shots just don't do it for that!

Here's my submission for this month:

Raven playing with Mario and Luigi. My parents got this for my youngest, Shane, and Raven was just fascinated with it. She just loved it to pieces and spent all her time on the floor in front of it like this, and was lost when we moved it upstairs to my son's bedroom wall.

Not as many entries as I thought there would be.

We'll go with what we've got, though. Some GREAT pictures submitted so far!

Tomorrow is the last day for submissions.

I just think that traffic on the site has decreased recently.... I wish I had captured some of the funny moments of cat v/non-toy in my house.

Yeah, it does that every summer. People want to go outside or on vacations or something.
