Actually not a fish.



Sometimes families are big.


Sometimes families are small.


Sometimes families throw up for each other like weirdos.


Whatever your family is or does I want to see it. People, animals, anime body pillows, anything your pets call family counts this month so get creative. As an extra special bonus, fabulous new forums mod Literally A Bird has donated the shiny new PI gang tag to the winner!

Theme: Family
Contest Period: Nov 8-30
Voting Period: Dec 1-3
Winner gets a donation to the charity of their choice!


:siren: Please pay attention to the rules! There are only 5 of them! It's not that hard! :siren:

Rules:
  • Post photos or GIFs that fit the monthly theme. Be creative! Good photography not required. Basic photoshop to adjust levels etc is ok, no adding things though. Some filters such as turning an image black and white are fine, please refrain from going full instagram though.
  • You may post up to three images per theme (can be different pets). Please label them clearly as entries.
  • Any image submitted must have been taken/made during the duration of the contest. It doesn't have to be your pet, but you have to take the picture.
  • Please vote for one entry only per month and don’t vote for your own images!
  • Pets are considered any animal that lives in captivity and regularly interacts with people

There are some really fantastic photographers participating in these contests and I love it! For people who are feeling a little intimidated here are some links with pointers, but don't get scared off. Any level of photographic quality is fine!

Definitely pastor of muppets with teflonbunnyears as a tie-breaker if necessary.

I'm voting for pastor of muppets.

Also I'm SUPER sad that this contest wasn't linked in last month's contest. I had that contest open in my browser ALL month and refreshed it daily wondering when the November contest would be posted... and here it came and went and I didn't even know about it!

Much sad... :( :( :(

My vote is for JimmydaFish.

Also, Nerwign, why didn't you just look for the new thread?? :psyduck:

You missed this thread AND the Pissmas thread. :( :sympathy:

Well, I only ever look at the photo thread, and in the past it very VERY quickly would fall down into the mucky muck of the more worthless posts in Pet Island. It would take me a very long time to find it any time I had to hunt for it in all the other crap, so it was easier for me to just keep the current month's tread open and refresh it eagerly anticipating the link to the next contest.

So, since I didn't make this month's contest, here's some bonus photos - ones that wouldn't have been eligible due to not being taken in the right time frame anyway.

Family:

Nerwign I'm so sorry I forgot to link the thread :( I was looking forward to piggie family pics too. I'll try to be more careful about that in the future.

:siren: What I thought would be a tough contest was no contest and we have a winner!

pastor of muppets your ragtag gang of toilet supervisors took the month! (The cat sliding in from the side was my favorite :3:) Let me know what charity you would like a donation to and I'll message our benevolent mod for your gang tag.



See you all in the next thread later today!
