Second Quarter Photo Contest

lorax · 04-14-2009, 09:28 AM

The second quarter photo contest for Bananas Quarterly is officially open, folks! I'm looking for your best photos of Canna.

Post 'em here if you like, but definitely send them to me at BQPhotoContest@gmail.com

As before, the four winners will be published in the next issue of BQ.

Thanks to all who will be participating, and good luck!

When is the cut-off date? I have nothing to photograph as yet. I think I will shoot for the 4th quarter, unless something remarkable happens prior.

lorax · 04-14-2009, 12:07 PM

Cutoff is May 30, 2009, at midnight Ecuador time.

I shoud add that it doesn't have to be a NEW photo. It just has to be your BEST photo.

Beth- are you looking for Tog and I to help with the judging again or are you going to do a rotating judging panel so that we can occasionally enter as well?

lorax · 04-14-2009, 12:43 PM

I was going to rotate the panel. I'm cool with never entering the contest (seeing as how I've got the keys to the other entries, it doesn't seem fair) but it's not cool to keep you guys out of it.

these cannas i grew from seed. the seeds i got from tophersmith and his lovely collection of cannas....drool, drool!

austinl01 · 04-14-2009, 10:01 PM

Canna tropicanna would be a great candidate for this contest. I'll check my pics to see if I have a good one.

An unknown that looks similar to Pink Fruturity.

Beth, I am cool if you wanna keep me around for the professional aspects of it. I don't like any competition if I can't physically hit my opponent.

Nice corms, Michael! They should grow great this year, but I think you won the 'ugly' canna award! LOL.

Hey, if there's a mod out and about, do you think you could merge this with the thread in the Contest section?
