Would it be ok if I took the picture in July? It was summer then and I took a picture of one and hadn't submitted it yet and now its winter here so theres no bugs at all.

HI, I can give a llama to every single participant
I'm not sure if I can take part in the contest, as I don't remember taking photos of ladybugs this year.

It will take some time, but i'll do it with passion
On Christmas (24th+25th), I usually don't spend much time on my computer, so I can't promise anything but I think by the end of the 26th each participant will have a llama from me. Is that OK? I mean, first 3 places always get prizes, what's with the rest???????

Merry Christmas in advance, hoho xD

Kara-a In reply to Paul774 [2012-12-03 15:25:22 +0000 UTC]

Alright, thank you very much
And don't worry everybody is busy around Christmas so there isn't a problem if you can't give them to the winners right away

Well...that's somehow how contests work, right? The winners will get the prizes

Thanks ! Merry Christmas to you too

Paul774 In reply to Kara-a [2012-12-26 21:58:18 +0000 UTC]

OK, I did as I promised; the contest is over and every single participant has received a from me (in case they didn't get it long ago yet) + one more for for co-organizing this contest with you!

And it's still Christmas...
