It is blatantly obvious that the krakos000 joined the forums only for the photo contest, as he has one post, made shortly after he joined, and the post is in this thread. It would be all to easy for someone to create multiple accounts so they can add more photos or copy a photo from online and face no penalties to their main account.
I was recommended by another user on this forum "Adrien" to join the photo contest. He has seen my plants, we talk regularly through Instagram and thought I might have a good picture to post. You can check my Instagram where I post photos of my various CPs (same name as here). I don't disagree that maybe these contests should only be for older forum users but I mean no I'll will I just figured it would be fun to join.
Okay, I understand, I was just concerned that some people would create many accounts and post a ton of different pictures.

Wow, what a great contest! We had 18 people participate by sharing photographs and I don't know how many people voted. What is really exciting is that we had some new members who participated for the first time. Thank you!

Now, the moment you all have been waiting for. And the winner, by popular proclamation, is:
@Nepenthes0260!

Congratulations! But honestly, who could beat a picture of a carnivorous plant with fangs that is dripping venom? (Okay, it is nectar but still. ;) ) PM me for details on how to claim your prize.

Thank you to everyone who participated. Now it is time to break out the baby pictures and check out this month's new contest.

Thank you to everyone who participated
