6gc.net 2013 calendar - you think its too soon? Belive me. It is not. Options

Folks, I do not want to sound silly or clam only me can do this. Nothing like that. I just want start slowly preparation (under anyone's lead) for calendar 2013. Last year I just missed for few days a chance to have lower price (because printing company suddenly rose prices before Christmas) and in fact donated calendar in the end to everyone with $0.6. To avoid it (and of course if I'm the one who prepare it) it must be ready for printing in October and will be send in November to your homes. That is why would be nice to start thinking about calendar (design, pictures, etc) better sooner than later to collect necessary amount of pictures. Great looking pictures in high resolution (no accidental snaps from cellphone) to have even better result than last year.

So... what you think? Any pictures you already know/have that worths to be there?

note: I really believe this is more about quality pictures NOT about cars in the picture so no one is excluded.

Looks like I'll be submitting my sig picture since my car is stowed away!

Another site im on had a thread with calendar submission (similar to our COTM) and then from there it is narrowed down to 12.
We didnt do that last year did we?

Exactly! The main issue of COTM (and do not take me wrong way) is quality of pictures. There is no guarantee COTM winner has his picture in enough high resolution for printing. Not mentioning about his/her will to participate on the calendar. That is my experience from last year so would agree exactly with what you say. Make "calendar specific" rules for picture submission and wait till we have 12 pieces with another decision.

a) there will not be 12 at all = I would need to beg all people I know for pictures to fill 12+1 (do not forget the cover) pictures. Honestly exactly this happened last year.
b) there will be 12-14 pictures and we have amount we need. No issue, no stress just process what we have.
c) there will be way more pictures than 12 = we vote for the best of the best (the way it was a years ago).

No other options anyway . Just to have enough decent pictures available. I know there is potential for this (for example I really like what Rusty shared few days ago here... just hope he has this in proper resolution for printing).
