Title: July - August Photo Contest
Post by: Reefd Up on July 27, 2009, 21:10:48

So, it's late...whatever.

Standard Photo Contest rules apply.  Entries are due by MIDNIGHT August 17, 2009.  Voting will then begin and end August 31, 2009.  Once again...NO late entries will be accepted.

Let's test your creativity.  Create a Demotivator Poster or LOLCats Poster using your aquarium photos.  Don't know what those are?  Catch up with the times! 

Demotivational pictures are the exact opposite of the motivational pictures you might see around your workplace.  LOLCats are pictures of animals (not just limited to cats) acting funny.  They also include a LOLCats language (think really horrible grammar/spelling). 

Some good examples:

Here are two I made as an example (they aren't good...just did it as an example by using the websites below):

Here's where you can make them easily (there are other generators out there as well):

And, if you think this is stupid...make up your own contest.   :laugh:

Bah, I did not read the directions closely. I just saw those other cats and I could not help myself.

I like this topic for a Photo contest :)  Now i have to get to work on it.

Thank you!  I thought it would be fun...but doesn't seem like we have too many people that want to play.  :-(

The inspiration for this topic (hint to the owner of the photo) was the photo of the blue spotted jawfish picture with its mouth wide open.  I thought of many humorous captions for it.
