PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS VERY CAREFULLY!

I will be putting together a 2011 C3VR Member Calendar. It will be a 12 Month Calendar featuring C3VR Members' C3s!  They would be similar to the ones I created here:
http://stores.lulu.com/vrllc

I need your photos!!! 

Please read this ENTIRE post BEFORE submitting your photo. Especially the part about photo file quality!!

Submission deadline is 11/15/2010!

Rules for submission:
Follow these rules very carefully! If any rule is ignored or information requested is missing, your entry will be discarded.

All submissions will be reviewed and judged on the following criteria:
  1. Quality THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!  The image file must be of a substantial quality in regards to DPI (eg. 300) and Resolution (eg. 1760x1168). The higher these numbers are, the better it will look when printed, especially on a calendar. You'll probably need a 2.1 megapixel camera or better, set at the highest quality setting possible.
  2. Artfulness - The image should be tasteful and free of anything that would detract from the Vette. For example, no people, no other cars, no business signsExamples of good backgrounds are: open fields, a park, a tree-lined 2-lane road, your driveway, etc.
  3. Framing - Framed so that the entire Vette is in the picture. It can be taken from any angle except straight on of the rear.
  4. Scenery - The prettier the background, the better. Plus, keep in mind that we'd like to have season appropriate photos. For example, a background of trees turning color in the fall; trees and flowers blooming in the spring; snow covered roadway in the winter, etc. 
The more of these criteria that you meet, the more likely your photo will be used.

Submission info:
  1. You may not submit an entry for the 2011 calendar if you were featured in the 2010 C3VR Member calendar. 
  2. You may send One (1) to Three (3) photos.
  3. In the body of your email, specify the following specs:
    • Your C3VR Member Name and/or ID Number
    • Model Year
    • Exterior Color Name
    • Engine Type (eg. L48) and/or Size (eg. 350/174hp)
    • Any special type (eg. Collector's Edition, Silver Anniversary, etc)
    • Year Purchased
    • Where photo was taken, if you think it is worthy of mention
  4. In the body of your email, specify how you want your name associated with the picture if it is used. You may specify one of the following:
    1. Do not use your name
    2.  - OR - Specify your C3VR Member name and your Real First Name
    3.  - OR - Specify your C3VR Member name and your Real First & Last Name
  5. In the body of your email, specify how you want your location associated with the picture if it is used. You may specify one of the following:

    2.  - OR - Specify your City and State, Country
    3.  - OR - Specify your State, Country

If you have any questions, please email PM or EMail me. 

WHERE TO SEND YOUR SUBMISSION:
EMAIL your submission to:   CalendarREMOVETHIS@C3VR.com
MAKE sure to take out "REMOVETHIS" from the email address! This is for SPAM protection!


Submission deadline is 11/15/2010!

If your submission does not get selected, you will NOT be contacted.  I simply do not have time to send everyone an email.  

If your submission IS selected, you may not be notified directly.  You will have to check the page that is created for ordering the calendar once it has been completed.

If you send an email to address above and it is not bounced back (returned) to you, then I DID receive it.  There is no need to send me a separate email asking if I got it.

Thanks and good luck!

I think you've been around long enough to know you should have some stock photos always on hand to use for this project. Tongue

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
You may have to spell out what a stock photo is for those from flyover country.   Approve 

It is not something that Wall Street buys or sells.  Clap  

It is a photo you take when you have your baby out for a ride and you say to yourself this would make a perfect picture spot but I don't have a camera with me.    

Of course those of us that do have camera with us all of the time do not have pretty C3 to show off.  Cry  I will someday.

Haven't gotten many yet.... keep them coming!

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY......

Quality THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!  The image file must be of a substantial quality in regards to DPI (eg. 300) and Resolution (eg. 1760x1168). The higher these numbers are, the better it will look when printed, especially on a calendar. You'll probably need a 2.1 megapixel camera or better, set at the highest quality setting possible.

Your file size should be over 2MBs.  If your file size is lower than that, it will likely be rejected!
