Thanks so much Sue!! You're the greatest!
Just so that everything is clear for everyone, here is a summary of what's going to happen with this project.
Unlike other OB projects, which are primarily about growing and flowering a particular orchid, with the Neo project, we wanted to take advantage of the fact that Neofinetia can be appreciated just as much out of flower as in flower - its all down to the presentation of the plant itself.
So, this project is composed of several contests which will all be decided by OB members or project participant polls. All entries will be anonymous, thanks to Sue who volunteered to accept photos and post them in the poll for us.
Entries will be accepted until August 1st for the following:
Awesome Blossom - the main project, is the best photo (no theme necessary) of the project plant as decided by OB members (not just project participants), like we do for the calendar contest. The winner of this contest will receive a special gift package from New World Orchids!!
Best in Bloom - Photo of one of your Neofinetia in flower, or a photo just of the flowers. The winner of this contest will be decided in a special poll open to project participants. The winner will receive a pot specially made for this contest by Vic at Erin Pottery.
Most Creative - The most creative photo, be it creativity in set up, creativity in photography, whatever... let your imagination run wild!! The winner of this contest will be decided in a special poll open to project participants. The winner will receive a pot specially made for this contest by Vic at Erin Pottery.
Samurai Award - For the best Japanese themed photo in honour of the country where these awesome plants originate. The winner of this contest will be decided in a special poll open to project participants. The winner will receive a pot specially made for this contest by Vic at Erin Pottery.
To enter each of the contests, send your photo to:
blossom@orchidboard.com
and enter the name of the contest (in bold above) that you want that photo entered into. One photo can be entered in multiple contests. Or you can enter 4 different photos, one for each of the different contests. Its totally up to you, if you want to enter one, two, or all of the contests, just put the title of the contest in the subject of the email and attach your photograph. To make life simpler for Sue, please only one photograph per email.
Remember to submit your photos before 1st August. After that Sue will set up the polls and the voting will begin!!
Good luck everyone!!
