So, how do I participate?
It's easy. In fact, you already do it. Choose a great avatar and make great posts to the discussion forums. Team RC members are already on the look out for candidates for Reef Central and Reefkeeping features like Thread of the Month and Tank of the Month. With this new contest in place, we'll be prowling for the best avatars as well. What makes a great avatar? Most of the avatars nominated by Team RC members for consideration in the first contest were excellent photos of corals, shrimp, crabs, fish and other aquatic life. However, the nominated avatars were not restricted to only the life in our aquariums. Photos of larger marine life were also represented, as were photos, drawings and cartoons of people and beautiful landscapes. Several were simply hilarious. The common thread they shared is that they impressed Team RC members. From that initial impression, we nominated the avatars into the contest pool and Team RC voted for the best. And the prizes are? Fame, bragging rights and a Premium Membership to Reef Central. What's so great about Premium Membership? Plenty. Premium Members have an expanded capacity to use the Search feature among other things. And starting in 2008 Reef Central will launch several great new features just for Premium Members. Nominations, how? If you spot an avatar you love you can send a PM to a Team RC member with a link to the profile of the person with the great avatar. We'll review it and decide whether or not to nominate it to the next quarterly contest. You'll know if your avatar was nominated (in the future) to the contest by a PM from Team RC, so you can eagerly await the next round of contest results. Reef Central members cant nominate an avatar directly, and wont be able to vote on the nominated avatars. The contest is sponsored, run and decided by Team RC. It's our way of recognizing members who make great contributions not only to forum discussions, but also to the scenery here at Reef Central. Congratulations again to the winner of our current round; stealle!!!!

Super squirrel should be doing good deeds regardless. I'm sure there's a nut stuck in a tree somewhere that needs rescue.
