Chancepixies Animal Rescue in Dover, Kent is a charity dedicated to educating people about dogs and rescuing and rehoming dogs who are on death row or that other charities refuse.

I have recently become a Trustee and we are holding a dog show on 29th August and more importantly to members here a Dog Photograpy Competition which closes at noon on 14th August.

It is only £1.50 per photo to enter (although you are welcome to donate more :) ) and full details - take special note of the judges - are available at http://www.chancepixies.com/photocomp1.htm
 
That's a great idea Christine . . . I'll have to get working on it.
I don't think I've got a chance of winning, but it's worth it to donate to such a good cause.

And well done to the judges for volunteering their services.


p.s.
I hope you enjoy being a trustee. I'm a trustee for a charity providing respite care to carers and it really is a very rewarding experience.
 
I've just tried to use the donate button twice, but each time is has come up saying there is an error and that it can not proceed, it gives no details as to waht the error is so nothing I can do about it.

I was using the donate button as I do not have a paypal account!

Just in case anyone wanted to see the classes, descriptions and judges here instead of following the link - here they are:

Classes

1. Dogs looking cute, doing cute things
Judge: Marcel Booth (Marcel)
cuteness more important than photographic quality


2. Dogs in show stance
Judge: Yv White (Yv)
quality of dog must be clearly visible - no digital editing to alter appearance of the dog

3. Dogs in Action
Judge: Colin Greenlees (Hacker)
will be judged on picture and photographic content, clarity and composition


4. Dogs - Black and White
Judge: Marc Falber (Fabs)
will be judged on picture and photographic content, clarity and composition

5. Dogs - Open, photographers choice.
Judge: Matt Moule (Matty)
will be judged on picture and photographic content, clarity and composition

6. Dogs - Digitally Manipulated Images
this class is limited purely by your imagination and that it must contain dog(s)!
Judge: George Michie (Dod)
Judge's choice
 
Looks like a worthwhile competition to enter! Now where that scraggy dog from next door!
 
thank you Christine, what a brilliant way to raise funds :)

I'll be sending one or two of my dirty damp duo :lol:

Inititially I had two per class but the first person to enter ignored that so I gave up, simplified the entry rules drastically and left it to entrants.

How many do you have in mind ?

I need to work out how many jaffa cakes I can afford for the bribe then I can work out how many to submit.

I've got a huge selection of dog pics and I'd have trouble selecting just one so probably 2 or 3 in each category I enter (prob cats 1,3 and 5)
 
Jaffa Cake or Hob Nob bribes will not be tolerated.

I'll be ruthlessly banning those who are known to have both a camera and a cute dog, and fail to enter cute pictures for me to look at.

PS. Christine...the cute category page....the subtitle says it's Category 6, oops!

Whoops! I will fix that tomorrow when I update the page again - pictures are correct, just subtitle wrong :bonk:

Entrants can always try bribing me with chocolate hob nobs - won't make any difference to the results, just my waistline :D

Can I entice anyone else to enter this and support the charity - some of our Mods don't have any work to do yet ?

I would be happy to enter but only dog shots I have are the puppie shots I did before...

If they would be ok I would see if I could find them and enter them anything for a good cause..

Have entered a pic of my dobie! Lost her in May to cancer, love that pic in your avatar Christine. Have come across the Kerioak name a few times whilst looking for pups!
 
I've entered tooooo... Good luck everybody, there are some cracking entries already! :thumbs:
 
Entered.

Only two pics but in 3 categories all told so donated £4.50
 
Have i missed the results somewhere:)
 
No Brian, Only closed yesterday, not sure when or where results are posted did you enter Fernie?
 
OK just wondered. No Nicki not Ferny but one of my sons Collies "Pip". Good cause though, wish i had thought of this as a way of raising cash, for Rottweiler Welfare when involved down south some years ago.:)
 
I know I have entered 2 just to put some cash in the pot for them.

Good luck !
 
Forgot about this, will try again tonight, and have a B&W to enter :D
 
Sorry, I should have come back and posted in this thread yesterday but I have been somewhat ill - losing 7 lbs between Friday and Saturday after making a cherry plum smoothie. It took me ages just to get the final pictures up and remind our judges about it after which I just flaked out again.

The competition is now closed (Saturday at Noon) and the results will be posted on the web site once they are all available, I will also mention it here once they are all available.

Thanks again to all who donated and entered :)
