The result is that folks who don't have show koi will submit pix, but folks with show koi won't -- 'cause they don't want others to know what they'll be bringing to the upcoming shows. I was taught that lesson (after violating it) by our own Nancy M.

So keeping that in mind, what does that predict about the quality of 'the show?'

Tell you guys what........We can have one. We'll keep it very simple. Everyone can post 3 pics of ONE koi that they OWN currently (honor system folks). I'll find someone to judge it and I'll find something to give out as a prize. The contest will be open for submissions for 15 days. Nice and simple and I'm keeping it simple because as its been pointed out you shouldn't judge koi by photos but for the learning experience we'll do it.

Thanks Carl! I'll keep that in mind . I already posted the rules etc and it should be a rather simple contest. Hopefully you'll post something from your own collection .

It's kind of cold up here to pull fish from the pond, but I have some in an indoor qt that I might be able to select from.

They don't have to be pics from right now. They can be from the fall. Just make sure its a koi you own right now .
