Hard to believe, but it's already time to start submitting photos for the next CS.com wall calendar!

So here's the official call for entries. Please submit your photo no later than Mon Oct 13, 2025.

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.

To submit your pics email me at [email protected] (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 or phone 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 past years, here are a few samples:

I'm so sorry for the delay everyone. Some personal stuff came up last week and I didn't get a chance return emails to some of you until today.

We have 10 photos submitted, and 1 more who's trying to get me a large enough original to print.

Anyone else? I was hoping this year would be the first with a photo of my HCS, but I'm still missing windshield trim, stripes, etc.

If we are that close, why not add a picture of one of the departed owners cars?

OK, we have 15 photos submitted, so we'll hold a vote this year. The top 13 photos (12 months + 1 cover) will be in the calendar. The final 2 photos will be on the back cover. So every car will be on the calendar one way or another.

I'll start the voting thread tonight, but here's a preview of the 15 photos:

Thanks again everyone for submitting your pics!
