Those who have been around for a while will remember our 'Pig of the Month' photo contests. It's been a while since our last one, but thanks to Faafaa giving us a nudge, we thought it might be a good time to run another contest and see what fantastic photos of your furry friends you can come up with! The theme for this one is summer. Interpret that however you choose and use any props or effects that inspire you! We will give you a few weeks to gather your entries so the competition will stay open until 12.00 midday (UK time) on Monday 28th July. To enter, please resize your photos (up to 3) to a maximum of 640 x 480 px and then put the photo on a photo hosting site (such as photobucket) and PM the link to Bean with the subject title 'Photo Contest'. After that date we'll start a poll showing you all the pictures, and members will be able to vote for their favourites. The prize will either be an all expenses paid cruise around the world or the glory of winning - we'll check the Wheekers bank account closer to the time and let you know. Happy snapping!

We've got the first entries in now - hope there are some more lovely snaps in the making!
If you have pictures you've already taken that fit the bill, that's fine - you don't have to have a special shoot if you don't have time!

Good idea for another theme, thanks Jo! Hope you manage to find a way to take some photos for the competition.

Well my photo is in. :-) I am not at all happy with it, but after days of photos the pigs had had it with me, so it is what it is!
Sent from my SCH-I435 using proboards

Did I tell you I tried to send some photies yesterday from my work document and it wouldn't send? I assume you have to do it through photobucket, oh well, will have another go but photobucket scares me to death LOL!!

Jo, you need to upload them to Photobucket, where you can size the to meet forum requirements. Word photo files are huge for sending, and the photo would never fit. Faafaa, I think mine were so surprised to be in a strange situation, they just sat thete long enough for me to snap some pics

We've said 640 x 480 pixels, but don't worry too much about the size Jo as I can always tweak them for you before I post them. Have to do our bit to help those who are technologically challenged (that's a polite way of saying it isn't it!).

Yes love, I have just tried but things have been altered. I have the photos I want to send in a photobucket library but I do not know how to copy them to send to you. I know it is probably something very simple, the trouble is so am I LOL!!

I think you posted this under Pig of the Month, too, and I answered that post. Check out that thread. Probably the last post in the thread

I did resize one and not the other love so I will have another go. I did write a description but that doesn't seem to have copied. The first piggy is Mrs Lacey Jane and the second is Mr Darcy.
I will try ad get the hang of this.

I am very confused love, I was able to resize one of the photos and despite resizing the other one and pressing save, it has not worked.
Which size is the useable one hun?
