2017 Chameleon Calendar

I think Pixel, ( Miss Lily's entry) would make a wonderful Spring calendar girl!!!...hint hint to the judging committee...
Aww, thanks! But I think you have got the two different competitions mixed up - I entered my new girl, Pixie, into the monthly contest. Entries for the calendar competition had to be emailed to Brad so nobody would have seen those yet.
 
Ah, thank you! I'm sure she will. I haven't entered any of her in the calendar comp as most are taken on my phone and in the wrong orientation, sadly.
 
Oh, well... I was just envisioning her as the Spring Calendar Girl what with her pastel coloring and tendency to be seen clutching rare flowers in her pawsoh well...maybe just my imagination running away with me!
 
update

All calendar entries have been processed. If you did not get an email reply then I did not receive your entry. It will take a few days to organize everything for voting and to finish helping some members with their entries. In the meantime I will accept new entries until Saturday. We will have a quick round of voting next week.
 
It's calendar time! We are now accepting entries for the 2017 chameleon calendar. Last year the community submitted and voted on some beautiful photos and the results were fantastic. We are hoping to create an even better calendar this year and need everyone's help to make that happen.

Entry Deadline: October 11

Rules
  1. Only two entries per member.
  2. Anything less than 2300x1800 will not be considered. Larger images preferred.
  3. Landscape orientation. Maximum resolution. No Humans.
  4. Please try to avoid compression artifacts and pixelation.
  5. Minor post processing is allowed if natural look maintained.
  6. All legal terms from the photo contest apply.

General Info
  1. Text will be added to each calendar photo in order to identify the species and photographer. Chameleon names can also be added upon request.
  2. To help build a diverse calendar we will continue the process used last year and group entries into multiple categories. Some photo contest entries from the past will be included if needed. This means there will be multiple polls to determine the final content of the calendar. In addition to these categories there will also be a vote for the calendar cover.

Prize
The top three 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
Members must own the full rights to any photo they submit for consideration to the 2017 calendar. Please note the size and resolution requirements above. This year we will be accepting entries by email only. You must include your username in the email. So that you know the status of your entry we 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 us.

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 few times due to their captive populations. Keep in mind the calendar will try to show a variety of species. This means that entries representing more unique species will have a better chance of being included in the calendar. If needed some previous photo contest entries that meet the requirements will be used. The information listed here may change at any time.


Is it too late to enter, I was planninv to take a picture today
 
Voting will begin Monday and last for 1 week. Like previous years voting will be broken down into multiple categories: veiled chameleons, panther chameleons and other chameleons. The winners will be included as pages in the calendar and compete for the calendar cover. In addition to the poll winners, we will also include as calendar pages some of our favorites from the past 12 months of photo contests.
