ADMIN CALL FOR PHOTOS! -Submit your pics for the 2014 CS Calendar! - Deadline Oct 4, 2013

[admin]

--> Here's the official call for entries for the CaliforniaSpecial.com Calendar. <--

Please start looking through your photos and submit one no later than Friday Oct 4, 2013. We've been doing this for a few years now and it's always a big success. I'm looking forward to another great one this year! :grin:

We'll all vote on the photos and the top 12 will be used. They'll be on sale in time to get them for Christmas gifts. If you've been in previous calendars you can submit again, but not the same or similar photo. Please submit only one photo. If you're one of those fortunate enough to have more than one Special, please only submit one. (or maybe a group shot?)

To submit your pics email me at cs.comcalendar@gmail.com (has more space than my normal email)

OK, here's the catch... Your photo has to be a minimum size in order to print clearly on a full size calendar. It needs to be 1800x1200 pixels minimum (obviously bigger is better). Basically a 2.0 Megapixel or better digital camera will work (if set at it's highest resolution). Any lower resolution and they just won't print well. Even the largest photos in the Gallery are too small. Sorry! And please don't take a smaller pic and change the resolution to bump it up to 1800x1200. It doesn't work that way unfortunately. The original needs to be at that resolution.

Thanks in advance for all the great photos I expect to get!

For those that don't have one hanging on your wall from last year, here's a shot of how it turned out:

Thanks for doing this again Jon! Been waiting for the call, and once the current rainy spell ends, I'll get out there with the camera. :grin:

 

[BigJim]

My wife and I can't agree on which picture to submit. Can we each submit one (of the same car)?

 

[admin]

Sorry, no. Not two of the same car.

 

[stangfan]

Sent my entry a few minutes ago.

Thanks Jon!

 

[68HCS289]

Awesome, I will be submitting a pic!!

 

[Bumblebee]

Me too, I'm in!

 

[admin]

Hopefully some of you are just procrastinating getting your photos in. At the moment we don't have enough submitted to even fill 12 months. :sad:

 

[NosAvrenim]

Well, guess I missed this year's deadline...doh!

Haven't been on the site in a little over 6 mos -- bought a huge "fixer-upper" house and that's been my focus. Didn't even get out much with the GT/CS this summer.

Looking forward to this next year's calendar! Hopefully enough pics were submitted!!

 

[rvrtrash]

I missed it too. I moved to Seattle and back and didn't even get to drive the CS this summer. Still getting unpacked and stuff put away.

Actually at the moment we don't have enough photos to even do a calendar. I was hoping some procrastinators would send some in at the 11th hour, but it didn't happen.

So I'm going to extend the deadline until this Friday in hopes of getting a few more entries.

 

[stangfan]

Come on people! :grin:

 

[ponyboy]

How many more do you need Jon?

 

[admin]

OK, I officially have 13 photos now, which is the exact number needed for the calendar. (12 months + 1 cover shot)

Unless there are objections I'll just go with that and bypass the voting process all together. It has the benefit of giving me more time to print up the calendar. :grin:

 

[68sunlitgold]

Jon,
you have my vote to just go with what you have.

[rvrtrash]

Jon,
you have my vote to just go with what you have.

Doug

Ditto.

Steve

 

[stangfan]

Go for it Jon. I'm just happy to have a 2014 calendar in the works.

Thanks again for doing this!! :grin:

 

[NosAvrenim]

As much as I'd like to put a pic in, I missed the deadline -- so mea culpa and a lesson learned for next year.

Jon, I vote you go with the 13 you have. Looking forward to see how it turns out. I'm sure it'll be yet another great calendar.

Thanks, again, for pulling this together.

Cheers!

 

[TexAg]

I say go for it! Thanks, Jon!!

 

[GT/CS S Code]

I agree with everyone else Jon ... just "Git 'er dun!"
:wink:
I guess you'll just have to pick them at random to decide which photo will go with which month? ... but that's OK ... we trust your judgement!
:grin:
