Entry Rules
Please abide by these rules for the photos submitted to pageant competitions:
1. White backgrounds are the default for entering parades. (i.e. unless the pageant host requests or allows photos with backgrounds, all entries must have no background in the photo)
2. Do not edit the photos. All entries must be original game photos without any editing.
3. Save photos in a photo format that can be easily edited, in case the pageant judge decides to create awards.
(no .bmp and .jpegs as the background as they are not 100% white). Instead, saving as a .gif or .png should do the trick!
NOTE: Photos that are not saved in this format will not be disqualified, but it is requested as courtesy to the judge.
4. All petz are welcome. (any age, breed, dog, cat, horse, monkey, red, orange, green, etc).
Pageant hosts may, however, limit which petz can enter if it is for the purpose of their pageant theme.
5. Enter as many photos as you'd like in each pageant (within reason). Remember, only 7 petz will place and only 5 of your petz can be registerd for points, so entering many more than that will not be very helpful to you or other petz community members. (Moderators of forums and website hosts may set a maximum number of entries per pageant if they want, so make sure to read their rules before entering.)
6. One pet per photo. Use the call name & prefix for the pet pictured, and not another pet, UNLESS the host of the pageant has given permission for points to go to another pet. (For example, if only poodle poses are accepted and the community member does not own a registered poodle, then the pageant host can allow them to post a picture of their poodle to earn points for a different pet).
HAVE FUN! :)
Misc. Tips & Suggestions
Choose your registered petz wisely.
After all, you only get to register 5 at a time! Some themes may require different breed types or poses. Therefore, you might want a dog that is a trotter to enter pageants with. Or perhaps you really like poodle poses and want to be able to enter those poses. Any pet (dog, cat, horse, pig, bunny, etc) can enter pageants, but having a variety will help you enter more pageant themes. So instead of entering 5 dogs, you may want to pick 2 dogs, 2 cats and a horse, for example.
Gather a collection of photos that you can easily upload and entered into parades.
The more pictures you have stashed up, the easier it will be to enter more parades, and therefore... more points! Putting together pictures of a large variety can allow you to have tons and tons to choose from. Try taking photos with different clothing items and toys. See what types of facial expressions you could get. Perhaps try using different treats to get different poses as well!
Pace yourself.
Your pet will always be there, and you don't want to burn yourself out! Take pictures only when it's fun to do so ;)
Consider having other petz users take photos for you (IF it's okay with the hexer/breeder.)
Sometimes it's fun to play with another person's pet, or to see the types of photos that another petz user can come up with! If you do want to have someone else take photos of your pet, however, make sure that you only send petz to trustworthy community members. Additionally, make sure that it is okay with the original hexer or breed for you to send that pet to other people.
