2010 Chameleon Calendar

Last year's calendar was a great success and we ended up with a beautiful product. I'm hoping we can build something even better for 2010.


Entry Deadline: August 23
[email protected]



Rules
  1. Only two entries per member.
  2. Anything less than 2300x1800 at 200ppi will not be considered.
  3. Landscape orientation. Maximum resolution. No Humans.
  4. Please avoid compression artifacts.
  5. Minor post processing is allowed if natural look maintained.
  6. All rules and legal terms from the [thread=102]photo contest[/thread] apply.

Info
The administrator will add text to each calender photo in order to identify the species. Some combination of name, username/company, and time since registration will also be included.

To help build a diverse calendar, we will continue the process used last year and group entries into multiple categories. Select photo contest entries from over the past year are likely to be included as well. This means there will be multiple polls to determine the final calendar content. In addition to these categories there will be specific voting for the calendar cover.

For 2009 we designed a standard sized calendar. Depending on the size and quality of entries, there may be additional options for 2010 (oversized, vertical, etc). While a standard calendar will be available, a decision on additional options will not be made until the entry deadline has expired.



Prize
The top five entries from the calendar cover vote will receive a free calendar. All proceeds originating from calendar sales will go towards the cost of maintaining Chameleon Forums.



How to Enter
Please note the size and resolution requirements above. Entries have the potential of being very large files. You can email your entry as an attachment to the address below. An alternative is to simply send me a private message or email containing a link to your file(s). So that you know the status of your entry, I will reply to let you know your photo has been received and if there are any problems. If you do not get this reply within a couple days then your entry was not received and you should contact me.

Note
We are striving for natural looking high quality photos. Entries should be what one would expect from a store bought photo calendar. Veileds and panthers will probably be in the calendar a couple times due to their captive populations. Keep in mind the calendar will try to show a variety of species. This means the more unique the species you enter, the better chance you have of seeing that entry in the calendar. If needed some previous photo contest entries that meet the requirements will be used. The rules and information listed here may change at any time.

I've received entries from a few members already and overall they have been excellent.

Calendar 2010 :cool:
 
Brad, any idea when these will be available? Price estimate?
I'm hoping to complete the calendar and have them available by October. Entry deadline is mid August and voting could take a few weeks. Pricing has not been determined, but I expect it to be similar to last year.



Can we submit the same photo to this and the photo contest?
Yes. Last year I picked some favorite photos from the contest that met the calendar requirements and included them in the voting. I expect to do the same this year.
 
Reminder

The calendar entry deadline is August 15.
I will accept two entries from each member. If you have a few and can't decide which to enter, just submit them all and I will choose my two favorite.

minimum size: 2300x1800
 
General Reminder:

Please review the calendar rules before submitting an entry. There are requirements each photo must meet and their are specified ways of submitting your entries.
 
I have sent confirmation messages to everyone who submitted calendar entries. If you have not received a confirmation via email or pm then I have not received your photo(s).
 
I sent you the 6 images, in 6 seperate emails, due to file size. They were sent on 8/12. I never recieved a conformation that you indeed recieved them. If you did please let me know.

I never got a conformation email. I sent the email to you on the 15th.

Me too! I emailed yesterday eveing (15th). The email took ages to send. I remember that you didn't get my entries the first time I emailed them last year and I had to re-submit. Hoping it worked ok this year!
 
I have now replied to all calendar submissions.

Entry deadline extended for 1 week
Because of the monthly contest and other conflicts the entry deadline for the 2010 calendar has been extended to August 23.
 
Final Deadline: Sunday 8-23-09

If you have not received a confirmation email/pm from me, then I have not received your entry.
