Here are the Rules for the 2025 contest. Please follow them or your entry could be deleted without notice.
This is NOT a biggest sheep contest, but a "best photo" contest. The winning photo will be judged on the following criteria:
*to note you can't enter a photo for someone else. They must enter it themselves (per rules #4-6) , otherwise the sheep guides and those with big families/friend circles would have better odds. There will be a thread for those photos, or photos that aren't contest worthy at the top of the Sheep forum
1) WOW Factor. Is it a great photo that grabs the viewer? This takes in lighting, color, uniqueness, etc. View previous contest winners to see what we're looking for.
2) Composition- by that I mean the way in which the different parts that make up your photo are arranged- is there too much background, not enough animal? or visa versa? Are the horn tips out of the frame or the hunters head cut off? Or is it a good balance between the sheep, the hunter, the terrain? (the hunter is not required to appear in the photo.)
3) Size of animal. This is a quality image contest first and doesn't mean biggest animal wins, but it could!
4) Must be a photo of a sheep you harvested in 2025--or after December 10th 2024. (you must be able to prove date of harvest)
5) By December 10th, post up your best harvest photo on this thread
6) Must be a Rokslide member to enter your photo. One Photo Per Sheep Only. We delete posts with multiple photos. If you harvest multiple sheep (lucky dog!), you can enter one photo for each
7) Also, by posting on this thread, you agree to let Rokslide and Stone Glacier use any of the photos in promotional material without compensation
8) Any international winner is responsible for border tax, custom fees, excessive postage fees, etc.
Besides the winning photos posted above, here are the rest of last year's finalists if you want to get an idea of what staff & members are looking for: 2024 Finalists
