Macro/Close-up Photography Contest Update + News

Hello everyone

I'd like to make a few tweaks that I sadly can't make directly to the news article (news.deviantart.com/article/12…)...
For the prizes, you can choose to either directly win a subscription OR the equivalent in points.
Because my collections folders tend to glitch when I add entries straight from the deviation page, I require that people send me thumbs of their entries. Don't know how to post a thumb? I've made a simple tutorial:


If you have no idea what contest I'm talking about or you're interested in entering, just read the article: news.deviantart.com/article/12…

I also have two rather exciting pieces of news (for me, at least ) :
I'm selling a book of snail photography through Blurb! I've ordered a copy for myself to proof it, but after I make sure everything is printing smoothly, I'll be making it available for purchase for anybody interested

I've been given an admin position in one of the most popular model photography groups out there: ModelProPhoto! Though I don't post much of my own people photography on this account, I do quite a bit of it/am paid for it; so my scope of photography isn't completely irrelevant to the group I suggest you check it out if you're interested in truly top-notch model photography!
