6gc.net 2005 Calendar Submissions, Submissions must be in by December 8th Options

[shid]

Doggy's not working on the calendar anymore, so I'm stepping up to the plate and trying to get something finished for you guys before christmas. Here's the criteria:

1) Photo must be hi resolution; if it's not hi res enough it simply will be thrown out- clear? This is for a print calendar- we need the best dpi possible and that means you guys submitting the best resolution pictures possible

2) Photo must be scenic/show off the car, whatever. Look in other calendars for examples- notice how almost none of them have their hoods/trunks/doors open? it looks messy a lot of times.

3) Photo must be emailed to ig98 @ mac.com (by 11:59PM Dec 7th)
In your email you must include:
1) Forum name
2) Real name
3) year and model of car
4) A phone number where you can be reached (I will probably not be calling any of you, as I'm antisocial; but this is for legal reasons if they crop up later and I need to get a release)

PHOTOS POSTED IN THIS THREAD/ OR GALLERIES LINKED WITH A: "TAKE SOME PHOTOS FROM HERE!!" WILL NOT BE COUNTED

Only photos of YOUR OWN car (or cars, if it's a group photo) EMAILED to the above address will be considered.
Also note you may have to send me more than one email- if you're sending more than 2 photos persay- most email programs won't accept attachments above a certain amount.

once submitted, I will email you back saying I have recieved your submission

If I don't, hit me up on AIM or PM just in case.

On December 8th; a bunch of "finalists" will be posted for you guys to vote on.

Clear? Any questions?

SUBMISSIONS MUST BE EMAILED. DO NOT POST SUBMISSIONS BELOW (I will not weed through your assorted junk in this thread)
If you upload the picts to a server and send me links to specific picts, thats fine

One last time, thats hi quality photos, emailed to ig98 @ mac.com by Dec 7th at 11:59 PM.

Q: My car isn't anything special.. so I won't submit.
A: It's not how special the car is, it's how good of a photo you take. Someone might have a 3sgte swap and an awesome paint job- but they probably won't make the calendar if they take the picture in a trash dump- while you take yours against the sunset on the pacific ocean. Get my drift?

Q: My car looks like **** now. I dont want to take a picture of it
A: old pictures (try not to be more than a year old) are acceptable! No reason not to.

Q: I don't have email.
A: PM me, we'll work something out like a spot for you to upload your photos- the point is I want your photos, and we'll work something out to get as many submissions as possible.

BESIDES EMAIL, YOU COULD:
1) Upload the picts somewhere and send me links
2) Send me the pictures over AIM (file transfer only, no Direct Connect please. AIM name is ig98A)

If you do either of the above, you need to send me a PM with the same information I asked you to put in the email

Q: How much?
A: The final calendars will be offered for your purchase AT COST Which should be around 15-17 dollars + shipping. Printing costs are still being figured out. Neither I nor coomer will be making any profit off these calendars. I tried to get Coom to take some money... but he wouldn't.

Q: You're a jerk. How do I know you won't disqualify me just because you hate my guts?
A: This is everyone's calendar- not just my own. We'll be picking the finalists on photo merit only- so take a good photo.

Q: Will you be editing out plates?
A: Yes, dont worry about your plate numbers. They are safe with me. Mwahhah

What do we do if we don't have email? Mine hasn't worked at home for ages.

[mr_dude]

Awesome Shid, thanks for taking the initiative.

Should we send high res photos, or low res ones and only send the big ones if we're picked?

Just looking out for your inbox.

Submit them anyway? Come on man

Amy, thanks for the link; but I'm not weeding through that thread for 3 reasons,

1) A lot of them are scaled down
2) I don't have their permission or information (real name, model and year, etc) nor am I going to PM everyone who posted in that thread and beg them for it.

I WILL post in the thread tho and ask them to submit

[Ricky]

Just one question.. are you going to mix the models ? hatch/coupe/ vert? or is it going to be mainly Hatch ?

[shid]

Mixing it up, the more variety the better. the more colors, angles of cars, models, years, color; etc

[mr_dude]

Hatch is better

Will send mine as soon as I get back to SoCal (Monday). Wish I had a better car to shoot...

[C3L1CA]

Did my pictures work? I like coupes
