The 2014 CDP Awards will be announced at the Spring Swap. However, since the qualifying period for the 2015 CDP Awards will actually start one week before the swap, I would like to clearly layout all the details of next year’s contest so that you’ll all be prepared. All CDP transactions made at the Spring Swap will count towards the 2015 CDP Awards so start fragging now!
SLASH formalized its Coral Donor Program (CDP) about 5 years ago. To date, 156 SLASH members have participated in the CDP, resulting in the transaction of 826 coral frags, including 204 distinctly unique varieties. The success of the program is all due to our generous membership who understand that donating and receiving frags to the CDP is not only a great way to save a few bucks and provide a backup for their favorite pieces but it’s also a wonderful way to build friendships in the local reefing community.
Next year we’re stepping things up a bit. We're upping the ante on our annual CDP Awards with the largest prizes to date.
2015 Top CDP Awards

The Rules:
The qualifying period for the 2013 CDP Awards is 3/23/2014 to 2 weeks prior to the 2015 Spring Swap (3/1/2015). All transactions made after 11:59pm on 3/1/2015 will count towards the 2016 Awards. Points will be calculated as follows:
1 point for every regular CDP donation + 2 points for every new Original Coral donated + 1 bonus point for every 3-frag obligation completed during the qualifying period.
3-frag obligations can be completed by donating to the Swaps’ raffles. However, please ensure you check these donations in at the Swaps’ CDP Tank in order to get credit. Also, please remember you will not receive actual CDP points for corals donated to the Swaps’ raffles, only credit towards your 3-frag CDP obligations.
Starting after the 2014 Spring Swap I will regularly update this thread with the point standings. Please check my math and let me know of any discrepancies ASAP.
Now start fragging and let’s fill that CDP Tank up at the Spring Swap!
