Let's talk about 2016 calendar :), ...to be or not to be? Options

Since you asked

Any news on a 2016 Calender?

+1!

Lil-Joe101 few days ago rang the bell when messaged me so I looked after many weeks here again (yea shame on me). In terms of calendar I found guys above asking about is. So here it is:

- I have no issues take control in this as previous years but only under the same rules (as before) = decent picture/pictures at minimum resolution 3508x2480 pixles
- Price assumption? I do not know... Not checked prices at all. Last year we got $16 shipped worldwide. The worst guess is +10% to last year price ($16-19 total?). Will make clear when we decide to go. Checked an confirmed: the same as last year $16 shipped worldwide
- Common issues we faced:

a) get 12+1 pictures (decent pictures... and talking about resolution!)
b) get enough interested people to buy it (estimated price is always based on some printed volume - when printed less price is going up)
c) get everything in time... you want it at home before end of the year? we must start immediately!

So what do you think? Calendar 2016 - to be or not to be?

I understand the issue with the resolution. I also understand the time crunch so I'm just making suggestions and since we had used the COTM as a template in the past, I was just gathering all the photos in one place. My shots aren't anything special. I have the full resolution pictures saved on my computer and you know how Photobucket kills the quality. I wish I had more shots of more cars (and from different angles) but those are the best of the pictures I have that will meet the resolution criteria. I also realized earlier today that I need to ask permission of the owners before submitting pictures of their cars as candidates for the calendar so for now, I'm pulling my pictures down until the owners decide if they'd like their cars in the calendar.

...I'm pulling my pictures down until the owners decide if they'd like their cars in the calendar.

No worries. Fully understand. Pictures of your car are perfect and fully usable so I hope they can stay . So far we have candidates but we are far from having "12 printable pictures". In fact - in total count - we have 5. Two COTM wines and 3 replacements. In case you get permission from other guys we can have nice "backup plan" available in case some COTM pictures will be unreachable.
