Forum Christmas Advent Calendar 2020

[Anniversary Herd]

We just wanted to remind everyone - and make sure our newer members know - that we have an Advent Calendar every year on our forum.

so … we'd like to invite you to send us a festive themed pigture of your guinea pig(s) for this year's Calendar .

The Advent Calendar is just for fun so, unlike our competitions, you are allowed to use apps/software to add Xmas hats, decorations and/or backgrounds to your pigtures - however, please do not use anything to alter the appearance of your Guinea Pig in any way . All other rules remain the same - the Guinea Pigs in the photos must be your own, no dressing up (any hats / capes etc must be loose so the Guinea Pig can shake them off if they wish ) - and, if using props, please make sure your Guinea pigs are safe at all times. We don't want anyone to spend loads of money on buying props so , please use this as a opportunity to show off your crafting skills.

Pigtures will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis. When your pigture is ready, please pm it to @Anniversary Herd (please do not post any pigtures on this thread) . Please include some details - e.g. the name of your guinea pig(s) and if they have a Christmas message for all our forum members. If you have a preferred Advent Date, please let us know in the pm and we will do our best to accommodate this.

We are very proud of the pigtures posted on the Advent - and in competitions so, please accept that by entering this competition you are granting us (theguineapigforum.co.uk ) permission to publish your photo, with your username, on any of our associated social media sites e.g. Facebook, twitter, instagram. We may also use your photo in print in any future article in the Guinea Pig Magazine and any promotional event we attend. For example, previous advent pigtures were made into baubles for The Potteries Xmas Fair Wanted: Xmas themed Pigtures of Forum Pigs .

By entering this competition your are acknowledging our rights to use your photo. If you do not agree with this then please do not enter.

If you have any queries, please ask on this thread.

We look forward to seeing your pigtures

Oh time for me to take Xmas photos with my piggies! Although I haven't put out the decors yet!

 

[Bill & Ted]

[rp1993]

Ruby has been waiting for this moment all year.
I think she is hoping she won't have to share the limelight with her new friend Coconut

 

[Sweet Potato]

the boys had their photo shoot this morning there's hay all over the spare room but we got some cute pics

 

[Flutterby]

Bumping this!

 

[Gem789]

When can we pick a date?

 

[Betsy]

Dennis is too ill for a photo shoot, Patsy is a newbie so don't want to frighten her too much but I'll try to see if she's amenable, Christian has suspected mites so don't want to photograph him and although Betsy is Beautiful in her floofy winter jimjams and I can try to take a Christmas photo of her she is such a moody cow that she may not let me! So I may have to enter a photo of Meg I took a couple of years ago as she's too feisty now to let me take a decent photo of her.

When can we pick a date?

Just message @Anniversary Herd with the date you want. There may be multiple pictures per date though

 

[David Piggie Lover]

Pls can we have a date .
Any is fine. . Love Mrs Dougal and Florence.

 

[Flutterby]

Everyone will get date If anyone wants a specific date then message Anniversary Herd, but you'll probably have to share

 

[munchmonster]

Any date will do for me

 

[Eddie & Elvis]

Oo this is exciting! I'll see if I can get a some pigtures

 

[Bill & Ted]

Gosh I need to get thinking and get my butt into action

 

[Tewdric]

Yay, I love the calendar thread.

Piggy Christmas photos were taken last weekend so that I could make the traditional family Christmas cards......

 

[Kellykels]

[Flutterby]

Bumping this! Come on folks get your photos in!

 

[Qualcast&Flymo]

Afraid I'm fresh out of ideas this year ... it's harder when they are in a hutch outside. I'll try and bestir my imagination though!

 

[David Piggie Lover]

Guys
I sort mine out this weekend.

 

[Flutterby]

They don't need to be new photos, previous photo's is fine if you don't want to take more!

Food and don’t put them on the floor! Try them on the sofa or somewhere
