UN-Official Celicas of 6gc.net 2009 Options

[BloodyStupidDave...]

I'm going to kick off calls for the <s>un</s>official 2009 calendar.

Rules:
* Only one submission per 6gc.net member
* Only one submission per car
* Photos that have, or are materially similar to those, featured in calendars for previous years are ineligible for submission
* Photo must feature a 6th gen. Celica (d'oh). Heavilly modified cars (such as complete front-end conversions) are permitted
* <s>Deadline is 31st August midnight GMT</s>. I will extend the deadline by a few days but we really have to wrap this up soon.
* Minimum image dimensions: 1650x1275
* Recommended image dimensions: 3300x2550
* By submitting an entry, you are assigning a copy of your copyright to the Producers for the purpose of producing the 2009 calendar
* Include in the body of the email:
** Photographer's name & 6gc.net screenname
** Owner's name & 6gc.net screenname
** Details of the camera, fstop settings, film type (if appropriate) and any other technical details about the photography and image processing used that you want to share.

Additional rules for the front cover:
* Must feature at least five different 6th gen. Celicas
* Artistic license permitted (eg if you want to create a montage, collage or other mash up)
* Please include owner details for all cars featured
* Email subject line must clearly state the submission is for the front cover

If you submit an entry and then take a better photo before the deadline, you may email the address above and ask me to replace your original submission with the new one. Photos taken by the owner trump photos taken by another member in the event of a conflict of the rules at the top of this post.

Here's where BloodyStupidDavey & GriffGirl are at with it as of today. GriffGirl has found a way to have these made on an as-ordered basis so no one actually had to go directly through her; once the calendar is available for sale, they will be shipped within 24 hours of placing the order. They will be full color, full bleed spiral bound 11" x 17" and will cost $24.95 plus shipping (about five bucks for shipping in the US, a little more for Int'l.) If you order them in multiples (say the whole Houston crew wants to go in and have them all shipped to one presumably not floated away location) there are quantity discounts that increase in percentage with the qty. ordered. 2-11=5% off, 12-49=10%, etc.

We feel very strongly that images that will appear in the calendar shall be chosen by poll, but GriffGirl will dictate which images will go into that poll, to be determined solely by using her professional judgment as to whether or not the image is viable for print or not. Having almost 15 years of experience as a graphic designer, GriffGirl is more than qualified to make this assessment. If we feel there is an image that is not suitable for print, we will contact the person who submitted it and request a higher resolution image. If one cannot be provided, it will not be considered for publication. Once that assessment is made, our decisions will be final and not open for discussion. We are not going to produce crap so someone's feelings don't get hurt. If you don't like the rules, don't buy a calendar.
