Hey Fastbuds, Did Hawkbo win contest for Cream Cookies? I was going to start the same strain, but only if I had a chance with growing Cream Cookies. Thanks Shammydog.

Hey y'all!! Just letting everyone know that due to the quantity of entries to this contest, we have begun to remove photos which do not comply to the aforementioned criteria. We will be removing photos throughout the contest which do not comply, so please be aware. It is not meant to offend anyone in anyway, in fact many of the photos removed were amazing, they just don't fit our strict standards for our website. We urge you to please revise the criteria, and use the sample diary as a guide to the type of photos we are looking for. Though not specifically mentioned in the rules, We will not accept photos with other objects in the shot, photos with purple lighting, photos of plants in vegetation, or various photos which are not up to standard. Please feel free to DM us if you have any questions about what we are looking for. We are looking for the most professional photos as possible. We appreciate all your enthusiasm for this contest and look forward to seeing more entries! ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€Good luck to everyone!!! ๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€๐Ÿ€

seems like the same people always win these contests. It would be nice if GD offered more contests geared towards a more even playing field..some of us cant afford expensive cameras.

Just wanted to comment after screwing up a few attempts at choosing photos to put up. I recommend if you have a large number of photos to put up. Go back and hit edit in your diary and number all the photos you wish to choose. Then go back and enter the contest. It will make it easier to know which ones to pick. Choose them by their numbered order or they will be all mixed up. Hope this saves someone the same frustration and time I went through. This was definately a tough one for GD contest computer programmers to write.๐Ÿ‘
