OK... I will ask: What about 2012 6GC.NET calendar? Options

[malpaso]

I'm in this community for ages and as I remember there always been 6GC.NET calendar. I do not want to talk about what happened last year. I would like to talk about what will happen this year.

I really would like to see next year on my wall 6GC.NET calendar. Question is what needs to be done to make this happen.

- I know there is needed approval from the owner (to use 6GC.NET logo)
- I know there is needed to find the best 12pictures around (or 14... 12months, cover and bonus month for 2013.. whatever)
- I know there is needed someone who manage this
- I know there is needed deadline. Soon enough deadline to have calendar in December 2011 delivered.

and I also know it is not any hard to manage this. Last year I made one for Celica Czech Republic Club. We made deadline for pictures in October and a month ago I was sending finished calendars... see the topic http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76445 that's it. Nothing more needed.

My point is. If I'm able to manage 20 calendars for $17 internationally delivered each from CZ... anyone in US can do the same for similar price. So... how hard could it be to see 6GC.NET calendar 2012 on the wall?

Thanks for replies folks. So far it seems everyone who simply whats to participate already answered and the rest just do not care (or do not have enough time or looking for the source or maybe... do not have the picture in high-res at all). I just starting to believe to take winning pictures of COTM is not best idea at all because there is no rule the winning picture must be available in high resolution as well. Anyway to move thing forward...

1) to minimize risk there is no high res-photo available we can make calendar (not necessary all months, just some if needed) like this:



Two or maybe even more smaller pictures of the car. Yes I took inspiration in UK... see the GT4OC.NET calendar example:



2) if you want to see calendar in your hands before Christmas we do not have much time to waste!

- 24th of December delivered all around the world (America, Europe, Australia) it must be send a month before to be sure everyone has it by the Christmass at home.
- To have it 24th of November ready it must be send to printing company 10days before... that is 14th of November.
- It is nice to have a week reserve in case anything happens... so deadline for all pictures prepared 7th of November.
- 1st of November we should know for 100% this calendar happens to be able to start collecting money (and give everyone 14days for successful Paypal transaction)

That is just 2 weeks to go!

In those two weeks I must have enough pictures to be able to create 12+1 pages to print in sufficient resolution. I really no not want blurry or pixelate pictures in there... this calendar do not deserve it. So...

If we really want this calendar happens I need pictures. And What I'm really afraid of I will not collect even 12 from all COTM winners. That is why I would suggest if I do not receive them to ask anyone here to provide picture for calendar. In case there are more (than just few to fill calendar) people interested to be in there lets make it like UK guys and place more different cars at one page.

thanks for opinion
