Hi Catchfire Keepers,
Do you prefer writing about Australian animals?
Thanks,
Keek
Hi Keek,
We haven’t decided to prioritise Australian animals. More exotic and obscure creatures are certainly welcome.
Michael.
I swear I read it somewhere but I seem to have lost it. I’m sorry, but when are the winners going to be announced? I am so sorry if you have put it somewhere. I think I recall that you did.
Thank you
The winners aren’t announced until the compilation based on the competition is launched.
