Exellent! Don't be afraid to try folks! The cash prizes aren't huge, but wouldn't it be fun to have your picture chosen for a calendar that will end up on people's walls all over the country?!

 

[astrogazer]

I wanted to take a minute to wish all of the excellent image makers here on reef central Good Luck!
I hope you all have made your submissions, I have ...

 

[twon8]

so do we have to submit a completed form with each picture?

 

[twon8]

and the form says the deadline is the 31st, this post says 26th, which is it?

 

[astrogazer]

I think the 31st is a typo as both dates say Wednesday. I submitted a form (2 pages) with each submission.

 

[astrogazer]

Cheri,
On what date will the MASNA be judging the photos?

 

[Reefcherie]

Mia culpa! The deadline was supposed to be 7/26, but since I'd actually mistakenly told some people 7/31, we've extended the deadline to 7/31!!

Judging will begin as soon as we are certain we have received all snail mail entries that we've been informed of. Snailmail must be postmarked by 7/31. I would hope if someone has sent a CD or DVD that they would inform us that via an eMAIL. We want to give our judges as much time as we can, so we'll start the judging as soon as possible.
