Ok, I'm going to make this happen. I want to have everything done in 2 weeks time, so people can have their calendars in time for the new year (a first for this site! )
I know cp[mike] has a thread going from January already. However, I'm starting fresh. If you posted a picture in that thread, I may contact you... or you may simply email me your images.
I have 3 basic requirements for the images themselves:
-They must be LARGE high resolution images. 2300x1800
-They must be 200dpi
-They must be in JPG format
This is very important. If the image isn't high-res, then it will appear grainy. It will look TERRIBLE on the calendar. Therefore, it will be a waste of my time, and a waste of your fellow members' money. If you have a great picture of your car that doesn't meet the requirements... sorry... can't help you.
All submissions must be sent to me at deevergote@comcast.net.
All submissions must be in a ZIP file. Name the ZIP file in this manner:
username - real first name - city, state, country
So:
deevergote - Mike - Woodbury, NJ, USA.zip would be the file name.
This way, I don't have to track you down to get this information if your image is selected. This information WILL be printed on the calendar.
Please don't send me every file on your hard drive. Pick the pictures that YOU think are best, and send them to me. If I get too many pictures, I'll simply set the collection aside and move on to the next, smaller, batch.
Now, for the images themselves...
-If your car shows damage in a picture, it will be rejected.
-If parts of your car are unpainted, or mismatched, it will be rejected.
-If the image is blurry, it will be rejected.
-If the image is modified noticeably, it will be rejected (no creative photoshopping... though touching up and minor enhancements done by EXPERIENCED photoshoppers are ok)
Please take the background into consideration. If the picture of your car is nice, but you're parked in front of a unappealing background... the image won't be pleasing to look at. No parking lot pics, with your car next to some beat up SUV being loaded full of groceries by an old lady.
No people in the shot, if you can help it. If there are people, be sure they're a distant part of the background.
Please don't send pictures of yourself posing in front of your car (even if you're a pretty girl.) Likewise, no pictures of your friends, girlfriends, moms, grandmoms, dogs, etc... CARS ONLY.
Keep in mind that all submissions become property of CB7tuner, for use on the 2010 Calendar. This calendar WILL be for sale, with the profits generated going to support this website. No members will be compensated monetarily for their contributions.
The images will be selected by me. The staff may or may not participate in the selection process. All decisions are final. We can only choose 13 images total (one being the cover image) so not everyone will be selected. If you are not selected, feel free to submit your image next year. Please do not take offense. Please do not make a scene on the forum if you are not selected. I do not care to explain to every rejected member WHY they were rejected. If I feel your image was very strong, with the exception of one or two minor (but significant) flaws... I will probably tell you, so you can correct it for a future submission.
Start submitting today. 12/07/09.
I will stop accepting submissions and make my final decisions next Monday evening, 12/14/09. I will only accept submissions after this date if I have not gotten enough quality images.
If you have been in a CB7tuner calendar previously, I still encourage you to submit photos. Since time is short, I don't want to exclude anyone that might have pretty pictures to submit! I will try not to feature someone a second time, but if I need to, I will (I know at least 1 member that has about 5 years worth of worthy calendar pics ready to go...)
Any submissions that do not follow the requirements will be deleted. I will not hound anyone to correct their submission.
ONE MORE TIME...
because people clearly don't get it...

-DO NOT ask me to put your pictures on a certain month. DO NOT ask me if you have been selected. DO NOT give me hard time. If you do... you guessed it. Your pictures will be instantly deleted.
