Anyone entering the chinchilla club chinchilla show?

Anyone here who is a member of the Chinchilla Club online, is there anyone who is entering any of their chins? I have about 8-10 that I want to enter, but whoa, getting them to sit for pictures is a chore in itself. I had 3 of us working on it, and although some of the shots eventually turn out ok, their fur gets messy with trying to keep them where they are suppose to be

Also, when I take pictures without a flash with my camera, they turn out blurry unless the subject is completely motionless, ummmm, these are chins

I can think of a few members here who have chins that I think would do really well on there, so was just curious who was a member or not

I was thinking about it...with Zoya. I didn't realize that you had to be a member though.

Hmmm, maybe you don't. I was just thinking you did because of the way I navigate that site

I guess it would tell you on the site whether or not you have to be a member.
I think Zoya would do VERY well

I have at least one I'd love to enter, but I don't have any photos of her currently that fit the requirements and any I do try to take with the proper background and such never turn out...*sigh* I may try this week to get some on my days off...but we'll see....

Do you have a link to the requirements? I tried to find it before and couldn't.

I suppose I shouldnn't have said requirements but the 'hints'...

Here are the Rules

Entry Rules

1. We require 2 pictures of your chinchilla. One as a side view and one as a face view.

2. Pictures should be on an all white background with nothing else in the picture but the chinchilla.

3. Be sure that the entire chinchilla is visible in the side view shot (from the tip of its nose to the tip of its tail.)

4. Take your pictures at eye level with your chinchilla and get close up.

5. Pictures can not be edited by graphics software in any way.

6. Remove breeding collars before you take pictures.

7. If you are able to size your pictures please make them 200 pixels high.
