The competitons etc are currently under review by the forum staff. We will update everyone in due course.
 
Thanks for the update Kate. :)

I did used to put up member of the month but it didn't generate enough interest. Maybe we should all get our thinking caps on! :)
 
I think with member of the month, once a month is too often...I mean we are all fab people and everything (:))) but it is hard for someone to "shine" every month! GPOTM was good though? I think we should keep that and have a member competition say once or twice a year :)
 
i think member of the month should be quarterly and pig of the month should have an anonymous poll with piggies that members wish to partake. i know i want to nominate sonny as he's only 11weeks old,has mites and was such a brave boy having his injection xxxxx

Click to expand...

That sounds like a good idea :)
 
Yeah quarterly sounds good to me. :)

I do like guinea pig of the month and I hope nobody takes this the wrong way but sometimes it feels like the person is being voted for rather than the pig. For instance if a newbie put a pig up then most would vote for a regular member.

No offence meant to anyone but its just how I see it. Not sure if guinea pig of the month works as an entirely fair contest to all. :)
 
You can be right there, I don't know how we can avoid this.
Anyway,I missed the piggy of the month competition this month, this was why I asked.
 
I know what you mean, S&T. Not sure how to make it fairer though...

Perhaps we could have a theme for the month - you know, like er... prettiest agouti, most handsome Peru... etc. - not great examples, but hopefully you know what I mean!

Or themed photos spring etc then those pics who won could be used for calanders :)
 
That's lovely as we're here cause of our piggies so let them be the shining stars first x)x)x)x)
but our MOTM are so deserving so yep 3 months sounds lovely -c
 
I do like "rescue guinea pig of the month" and I know that usually there are many within that category each and every month. They can be nominated not just within that month they are rescued but again after if they don't win.

Perhaps a "rescue calendar" with lots of photos on there, not just twelve for the year. But a few each month?
 
I really like 'guinea pig of the month' - I have to say I don't vote for the member but usually the cutest piggy with the best story (usually one that's been a wee survivor).

I think the idea for 'member of the month' to be quarterly is a really good one - monthly is too much.
 
i know how old this thread is so sorry to drag it up, i was wondering if GPOTM had been reviewed?
i'd love to enter one of mine for it <3
if it's not going ahead could members hold their own shows? like people have already suggested, themed photos that would either be judged by the owner of the thread or voted for by members?
 
There are no firm plans at the moment but we are constantly reviewing forum matters as a staff so it may reappear at some point.
 
I am really in favour of "Guinea Pig of the Month" ... I hope it gets the thumbs up during the moderators review.

In my opinion, it gives the chance for owners or fosters to nominate a piggy that they think deserves the title. Even if they don't win ... and winning is not the only reason for entering ... it gives the piggy a chance for a nice photo to be displayed and a write up of why they are deserving of the title.

I am sure that every member on here is keen for a poorly piggy to be in the spot-light.

Fingers crossed, this gets the go-ahead again.
