Get those digital cameras out and scan those incubator plans you wrote on the back of your chick starter receipt. Throw them together with a great write up and you could be a winner! (okay... everyone on BYC is a winner... you'd just be an incubator page contest winner!)
Contest Details:
This is a contest to see who can create the "best" incubator page for BYC. The winner of the contest will get a $20 Gift Certificate for the BYC Store!
You'll be using the BYC Page Creation Toolto design your pages.
Here is what should be included in your page:
1) A write up of how you built your incubator along with any information you think would be helpful to other people who may want to build a similar units.
2) Any designs / plans you used to build your incubator.
3) Pictures of your incubator as it was being constructed.
4) Finished pictures of your incubator.
5) What you want to change / add to your completed incubator.
6) A parts list
If you want your page to win, make sure it has as many of the elements above in as much detail as possible! Here are some additional hints to help you win the contest:
1) Follow the format of some of the coop pages.
2) The more details and pictures the better!
3) Pictures - We all love lots of pictures, but PLEASE follow these guidelines: Pictures on the page should be no wider than 800 pixels. If you want to add a larger picture (we all love detailed pictures) please post a thumbnail link or regular link to the picture instead of the huge picture itself.
NEW RULE: ALL pictures MUST be uploaded to the BYC Image Upload Tool.
It is super easy to use and will help ensure that the pages always have the correct images and that they load quickly.
