Hi everyone! :wave:

Well, it's finally here. The first challenge of this new season of Top Model. Excited yet??? I know I am!! :D

I am sure you are probably dying to know who the judges are, yes? :eek: I'm sure you are. So, without further adieu, I shall introduce our judges!!
---------------------------

So, our judges this season will be:

clifff123!!! :D

aka.pody!!! :D

And last, but certainly not least:

Budgiekin!!! :D

Also, in case one of the judges is away for a certain week, we will have Dave step in as a guest judge. Thanks Dave! :thumbsup:

---------------------------
Rules:

Each new challenge will be posted early Sunday morning in the Western Hemisphere. For those in the Eastern Hemisphere, you will likely see the new thread Sunday midday or Sunday night. Contestants will have four (4) days to enter a photo. So, the deadline for entering a photo for the challenges will be Wednesday night at 9pm EST (people in different time zones will have to figure out what time that is in your time zone, you can use this site (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) to convert the time to your time zone. ;)).

Then, the judges will deliberate for the rest of the week (Thursday Friday Saturday) and the results and new challenges will be posted the following Sunday.

The DIVA card: So basically, if your Budgie is not co-operating with you for the challenge and you don't know what to do, you can use your DIVA card. This season's DIVA card has not been chosen yet, so it will be announced on the day of the first challenge.

Rules for the DIVA card:
It can only be used ONCE during the entire competition so use it only when you really have to!

The DIVA card can be used for any round except the final.
So, the DIVA card for this season will be:
Sleepy Bird!


Also, please try to enter a recent picture, preferably one that has been taken during this competition, for this competition. ;)
----------------------------

Alright, so that just about does it. Are you ready for the first challenge?? Well, here it is:

Bird Playtime!

So, this should be a pretty easy starting challenge. All we ask for is a picture of your bird playing. Could be your bird playing with toys, playing with other birds, etc. Try to use as much interaction as possible! :D

Good luck! The deadline will be Wednesday, February 23rd, at 9pm EST (use the link above for the time zone conversion).

Have fun!! :D

Sorry but my photos won't be in until Wednesday! Don't worry I won't forget lol. Wednesdays and every other weekend are the times that I have TB. My laptop won't load it at my moms and its super frustrating! :rant:

Leo must be the biggest bird :giggle:

And great entries, this is going to be a great season!!! I love all the photos :)

The judges have the rest of the week to figure out who will be eliminated, and then this coming Sunday, you will find out who got eliminated and then the next challenge. :)

So glad everyone made the deadline :) Such fabulous photos for the first round! I hope you are all having fun too. This game is a fantastic opportunity to bond with your feathered friend.

I have opened up a Blooper Thread so we can all see the photos you didn't submit.

http://talkbudgies.com/showthread.php?t=67942

and I also opened up a Play-A-Long Thread for anyone who wants to give it a try.
