Contest Idea!

[StripySnailGirl04]

Hello,
After some time thinking, I have come up with a contest idea: COTM. COTM stands for Creativity of the Month and can be held once every two months, for example alternating with TOTM.
In the contest, you have to be creative! Examples:
Theme is Nerite Snails
You could do:
1. (Musicians) Compose a musical piece based on nerite snails, e.g. reflecting the movement of the snail.
2. Painting the snail with a variety of mediums.
3. Creating a 3D model
And much more...

Dream Tank
You could do:
1. A drawing/ painting
2. A 3D model in a jar using natural materials
3. Perhaps make a virtual 3D model in blender
And much more...

Moderators, is this a good idea? @Fishmanic

I hope you like the sound of COTM!

Interesting idea but we prefer to just concentrate on our 3 contests, POTM, TOTM, and FOTM. Too many contests running simultaneously can get confusing and dilute participation.
You could set up a thread for creativity, but not as a poll. Any contests are to be run by a TFF moderator.

I was thinking a specific fish of the month. like Bettas, gouramis, Cichlids, Discus, Etc or like a category of fish.

We've been doing exactly that for the last couple of years. This month's FOTM will be for livebearers.

What if the contest has no prize? just friendly competition.

I think that one's already been done.

Yes! I can enter this one when does it start?

FOTM (livebearers) will start accepting entries on February 12th.

I had a thought for the Pet of the Month contest. So many of the members here have a pair of animals. For instance, I have a pair of rabbits and a pair of parakeets. I know that @StripySnailGirl04 @FishFinatic77 and @TheTenthDoctor each have a pair of parakeets, if I recall @PlasticGalaxy has/had a pair of guinea pigs. And lots of people have cat siblings. The thing that makes my rabbit Tanana so special is her sister Talullah. There isn't anything special about them on their own (don't tell them I said that), but together they really complement eachother. But of course the POTM only allows one animal to be present/entered. What if once a year or something for the pet of the month there was a "couple" or "pair" theme?

Haha yes! Danny and DeVito are bound by brotherhood, can't be apart from each other or Dev gets himself in a fuss haha.

I suppose the issue with having pairs in the regular POTM contest is that you essentially get two entries, which could potentially apply for a pair themed contest too. That would have to go by how the pair look together and how they interact, rather than the objective cuteness (or coolness) of them.

A lot of times with a pair, there's a story. It would definitely be that that specific POTM would need to be themed.
