Time for the 2011 Calendar Contest.
2010 Calendars were amazing!!! I gave several of them to friends and family and the comments were all praising the quality of the photos
Lets get going on the 2011 !!!
Just like before
2011 Calendar will consist of 13 images (1 cover and 12 for individual months)
This was the winning cover photo of our 2010 Calendar:
Each winning photo will be captioned with the scientific name of the gecko and the real name and GU user name of the person who took and submitted the photo.
Deadline: Sun Oct 3, 2010 at midnight
Prizes:
The top 3 voted images will receive copies of the calendar.
This year I'm going to try something different. Instead of relying on CafePress for calendars, I'm going to order them from the printers. I already got a sample and I'm hoping to turn out a larger, higher quality calendar printed on a glossier paper, hopefully for less money than cafe press charges.
Lets turn out an amazing calendar.
Please email any calendar entries to
2011calendar@geckosunlimited.com
I will select the final choices and we will vote for the cover and the 12 images together. This is always very hard, but I'm not going to be judging the photos...criterion for rejection will be the lack of focus, low resolution, watermarks, poor composition, etc - mainly not meeting requirements. After the initial weeding out, You guys are going to select who makes the calendar.
Contest rules.
1. Images must be submitted unsized and at maximum available resolution. The finished photos will be
12" x 12" in. at 200dpi. This translates to an image 2400x2400 at 200dpi. If your photo is larger, that's perfectly fine. In other words the bigger the better. If needed I will size the images, please don't do it yourself. This will give me more flexibility when doing the final layout. Send the original files. Images that are too small will not be considered.
2. Orientation of the Image must be 'landscape'. Portrait entries will not be considered. (See example here). If the portrait submission is trimmable to 12x12" I may consider it.
3. Once you submit an image you give Geckos Unlimited the right to manipulate it/size it/crop it and alter it in any way we want in order to use it, and also re-use the image at a later time in conjunction with other GU activities.
4. Submitted image must be your own work. Use of copyrighted material will result in immediate disqualification
5. When you submit the photos please be sure to include the following information.
Scientific Name:
Your Real Name:
Your Geckos Unlimited user name:
6. 1 photo per member. Select your best entry and do not send more than 1 image.
7. Please make sure the photos are free of any watermarks or text.
Have FUN & GOOD LUCK!
