Voting for the April '08 Chameleon Photo Contest has begun. We had over 40 excellent entries covering more than half a dozen different species. It was very difficult to remove so many great photos from the contest. The finalists shown in the poll above were compiled only after studying each entry in detail, often many times over. A slideshow of the finalists will be added tomorrow. If you have any questions, concerns, queries, or qualms, please post in the appropriate forum or contact me privately.

well it was an easy vote for me i hope it wins the composure of the pic was great and all the detail of the coloration was impressive, so when does the winner get announced again?
 
I have two questions regarding the 50 dollar gift certificate.
How long do you have to use it once you have one?
Can the money be donated to the forum or a chameleon conservation organization?
 
You are asking some interesting questions. :) I'll take a guess.

Depends on the company, however; there are laws governing gift certificates/cards that change from state to state. Some states require that a gift certificate cannot expire such as Cali under some conditions. Please see this site for more detail.

I'm sure Brad wouldn't mind a bump in relieving domain associated costs. :p
As for donating your to another place might cause complications. I'm interested to hear Brad's opinion on this issue.
