R2R Article Writing Contest: Win a $100 Live Aquaria Gift Certificate

Short Version: Write a great article and you could win a $100, $50, or $25 Gift Card & have your article featured on the homepage of R2R!

Detailed Version: We are constantly amazed at how knowledgeable and helpful our community members are! The R2R forum provides a wonderful opportunity for members to post questions and reply with answers. Unfortunately a lot of really amazing information can get lost in the super activity on the forum. Over the years we’ve received requests to add more articles & FAQ’s to our community and this is the perfect opportunity for us to do that and get you involved as well.

Rules:

1. Create a well worded & detailed title for your article. Example: “How To Set Up A Saltwater Aquarium” is much better than the title: “Tank Noob”

2. Write a unique high quality article with around 750 words (more is fine as long as it is good / helpful info) pertaining to saltwater or reef aquariums. It must have at least one picture relative to the subject. Bonus points if you add more pics. :D

3. Articles must be written by you and must be a new article from this day forward.

4. Post your article in the proper forum for which it applies. (if your article is about "How To Set Up A Saltwater Aquarium” then it needs to be posted in the "New to the Hobby" forum.

5. Post a reply to this thread with a link to your article(s). There is NO limit to how many you can submit!

**Bonus points are given for grammar and punctuation as well as photos. Please use a spell checker, commas, spaces, new paragraphs, etc.**
**Articles submitted may be used by Reef2Reef as stickies, blog posts, FB posts, or any other way deemed valuable to our community.**

Prizes:

First place prize will be a $100 Gift Certificate from Liveaquaria.com

Second Place prize will be a $50 Gift Certificate from Liveaquaria.com

Third Place prize will be a $25 Gift Certificate from Liveaquaria.com

Contest will end on August 8th. Myself and a couple other mods will be the judge and will announce the winners.
A minimum of 30 articles is needed or the contest time may be extended.

Do we need to link them? And, is it cool to submit one that was copy pasted already on the site... but written by me?

sorry for the picture being in the second post. :redface:

here is an research article that i did. It is just an article to give people awareness of some of the devastating practices we have employed in the past as far a fish collecting methods. This article is intended to inform (not bash) hobbyist so that they have better knowledge and can strive to look for sustainably caught or tank bred fish and corals.
