This all sounds so great :3 but I wonder if having a "beginner hobbyist prize" as one of the prizes would be cool. Based on the replies from people and the description of the contest it sounds like people with the most tanks and discus will naturally have the most interesting and eye popping threads, leaving the newbys with 1 tank and a handful of discus behind in the dust.. I think it might be a good idea to have a prize go to someone who might not have the most beautiful or big discus but they're active and passionate in the hobby. This is a beautiful hobby and I'm sure I'm not the only one who is a little intimidated by the contest cause I know I don't have much to compete with on my end.

Hello,
I hope you and others will try this contest out and not get hung up on the "big or beautiful" discus thing. The contest isnt about that at all. Its more about posting and sharing your experiences with your tank or tanks. In my mind a thread about someones trials, successes, and failures honestly written and interaction they have with other members has more of a chance of winning than a person with an 8 inch dinner plate discus has if alls they do is post pics of their discus. In a some ways this is more about you the hobbyist than your fish.

I'll still be in, but I liked your original idea Al. Thought it was simple, straightforward and more about the pics.
Now I'm afraid it sounds a bit more of a personality contest. Who's the best writer or who's popular here on the forum will have the advantage? I'm with the KISS method as well but understand you have to try to appeal to the majority. Just thought I'd throw in my two cents but I'm in for however you decide to format it.
