I must say that all the entries are spectacular. Who would like to host the next contest after this one is over?

This is my mom's male veiltail betta Blush who passed away two days ago /: (he was probably close to three years old). This picture does not do him justice, he was HUGE easily three-four inches long just in the body (not including finnage). Easily one of the most passive and sedentary bettas I have ever seen (probably because he was so massive)

Very interesting, was he a giant breed? Or just really huge?

We certainly didn't buy him as anything special; my mom tends to buy the smaller bettas because they're younger and I mean we got him at Petsmart just labeled as a "veiltail" for like 3$, but he just became huge-even larger than the other fish in my moms care (so we can't blame it on her feeding them twice a day)...to be honest, I can't even say he lived in optimal conditions as only recently was I finally able to convince my mom that bettas can't really thrive in bowls/with no plants ect. so unfortunately for most of his life he didn't live in a tank much larger than a gallon or so, so we can't exactly chalk it up to extraordinary living conditions....it's a mystery I suppose. Maybe he was a 'king' betta, we just never knew.

This is my pretty boy Pig, (I know he has a weird name😂) he has that gene that makes them change color. The picture with more blue on it is from a few months ago while the other one is from when we first got him (about a year ago). I dont know what type of beta he is.

With much consideration and talking with the judges, we have decided to have a first, second and third place for each category.

I would like to add a reminder that this question was asked prior to submissions and it was stated that there would only be one category for the basis of the judgement.
Please keep to the rules advertised prior to submission.

I think having a first, second and third place for each category (male and female categories) is still within the stated rules.
It doesn't sound as they are adding additional categories, just additional place standings, which I think is a great idea. You can't have a contest and only award first place? There are two other spots on the podium to fill!

What? Only the male and female categories are involved, 5/6 of the judges stated they wanted to judge the two categories and give 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Reminder: entries will not be accepted past midnight tonight.

Ok, thanks, I may have misunderstood. I wanted to make sure that the sex of the fish were the only categories being used and not any of the others such as 'form' etc. mentioned at the start.
