6gc.net 2006 Calendar Submissions, Submissions must be in by November 7th Options

[shid]

Here's the criteria:

Sean is no longer running this...please re-submit your calendar pic submissions to ccoomer@6gc.net ASAP!

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

Minimum: 1725x1350 - thats only 150 dpi
Max: Anything.

DO NOT SCALE UP YOUR PICTURES

2) Photo must be scenic/show off the car, not your girlfriend/hired trash. Look in other calendars for examples. This includes having your trunk, doors, hood, gascap open. Don't. It's out of place.

If I get 50 submissions of a car during summer, and 4 during winter with snow, which do you think are going to have better odds of getting in?

3) Photo must be emailed to ccoomer@6gc.net (by 11:59PM Nov 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, but only celicas) 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. My email address can however take a beating, don't worry about it.

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 November 20th; 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 email me links to specific picts, thats fine

One last time, thats hi quality photos, emailed to ig98 @ mac.com by Nov 14th at 11:59 PM.

Q: Can I photoshop my car before enterting?
A: No. No photoshops allowed. And I can tell. We'll be working with a very specific print template, and it's important I get the originals so I can color correct them and still have the prints dont decently.

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: All pictures taken in 2005 are eligable.

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

Some of last years:

[right][snapback]345133[/snapback][/right]

You can email me the originals that you uploaded to cardomain and photobucket?

[dustin15brown]

Hey shid, along with the new calendars for this year... is there anyway I could order one from last year too?

[Phat_99CeliGT]

ok, well, that won't work then cause i deleted them all.

have to get my springs on and get some new pics then.lol

[shid]

[right][snapback]345148[/snapback][/right]

I was going to say yes, but for some reason the cal has been removed from cafepress, the pictures are no longer there, etc.

[shid]

ok, well, that won't work then cause i deleted them all.

[right][snapback]345153[/snapback][/right]

Well what size are the photobucket picts?

[amysmojo]

[right][snapback]345153[/snapback][/right]

always keep the originals silly boy!! what if cardomain & photobucket lost all your pics?? you would be SOL!

SHID! they removed the calendar???? punks

[shid]

Got the cal back, thank god I keep originals!

http://www.cafepress.com/cp/members/products/index.aspx?s=0

You can order it from there.
The Cal is 14.99 + Shipping

The 06 Cal will start off life a little more expensive than that (like 17) and then after a month or two will be back down to 14.99.

[shid]

Size Clarification

We will not be accepting ANY picts smaller than 1400*1200

Q: I don't get this 1547*4547 crap
A: Your camera is probably measured in "megapixels"
2 megapixels = 1600*1200
3 megapixels = 2048*1536
5 megapixels = 2560*1920

Frankly, I'd prefer 5 and above.

Here is a demo size of 1725*1350 (please note I saved this in ZERO quality so that it wouldn't suck up your bandwidth)

One more note (yay! post count to the 6th box!)

Cars that were in last year's calendar are still eligible, but we'll be more on the lookout for fresh cars and looks, so they'll have to try harder!

ONE LAST THING:

IF YOU CAN SEND IT VIA EMAIL, DONT TRY AND SEND IT VIA AIM TO ME.

It may seem more convenient for you, but it's 100 times the hassle for me.

[creis]

I sent a bunch in last night in 3 separate e-mails to keep each one under 5 mb, I had to used my ms e-mail because its way faster. I also sent in a few from the NW HIN meet of us all parked together.

I plan to have more when I get a day off to take em between now and the deadline.

[Batman722]

I submitted (emailed) a few HQ pics of my car, Manny's car, and a group shot from a meet

here is a quick shot or 2 of what I emailed






add meeee innnnnnn !!!!!

[Supersprynt]

After all pics are submitted we'll have a site-wide vote.

[95gtschick]

k i'm confused. I sent him pictures last week or even the week before, and he hasn't emailed me back saying he got them. So i pm'd him, hasn't replied to that either. Is he away or something?? I sorta want a reply so i know if i need to send them again.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

yeah i e-mailed him sunday- and i got no e-mail yet- idk?

[creis]

^ I'm in the same boat

[ILuvMyCelica95]

weird... has anyone attempted to IM him?

[C3L1CA]

I sent him an IM like 2 days ago and he said that he got my email. He never did send me an email back though. so maybe he just doesn't feel like sending emails back

[ILuvMyCelica95]

blaaah i e-mailed a question and i got no e-mail back.

[Phat_99CeliGT]

same here
i emailed and no responce.
PMed and no responce

[shid]

Sorry guys, been real busy of late. I will be catagorizing and sending emails back Friday at the very latest! my bad.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

good stuff- I was just confused that i sent it to the wrong e-mail or something.

[95gtschick]

yeah but i still haven't gotten an email from him!!!

[dustin15brown]

[amysmojo]

yeah but i still haven't gotten an email from him!!!
[right][snapback]353266[/snapback][/right]

[CelicaZR]

[Coomer]

I just submitted a bunch of pics.

[nik]

[95gtschick]

Well i submitted mine a while back, he said he'd get the emails out by friday at the latest, didn't receive one. Should i send them in again? I just want to know if he got them...

[dustin15brown]

I'm also kinda curious, I haven't received any mail

[shid]

Got stuck with no internet all weekend, expect emails today.

Due to a low number of submissions, I'm extending it another week, go go 14th.

[truckernick]

[Supersprynt]

If ur not good with the camera I will take your pics just pay for my gas money!

[ILuvMyCelica95]

yeah we're supposed to get 20cm of snow tomorrow!!! Gonna take some pictures for sure! Hopefully i don't get stuck though, that would suck a lot! lol

[shid]

We got 12, but the more submissions, the better the cal. Overall, we got way less than last year and I wanna get that number up.

[truckernick]

have you had my email?

[jgreening]

Any chance we can get a December 1 cutoff? Some of us are right in the middle of some pretty major projects....

[right][snapback]354279[/snapback][/right]

I wouldnt mind waiting till Dec 1st! For the longest time I thought the cut-off time was Nov 27th till Natalie corrected me saying its the 7th!

I dont care if it wouldnt be done in time for Christmas....how about everyone else?

[95gtschick]

[ILuvMyCelica95]

im with you

[C3L1CA]

Dang with more time to get people's submissions in the less likely I'll will get in. Either way I will still get one

[creis]

Can we get a list of the poeple who have sent pic's in? did mine go though?

[ILuvMyCelica95]

Sounds like a plan

List of people who have submitted pictures:

1. Tina-have not heard back

[95celicagt]

Okay yeah, it's 95gtschick (couldn't sign in - said i wasn't a member so i had to make a new account )


1. Tina - have not heard back
2. Krysten (95gtschick) - also have not heard back

[shid]

Everyone who submitted pictures should have recieved an email back NOW (9 AM Tuesday morning)

if you didn't get an email back, then we have problems

[Batman722]

I haven't recieved an email back...I submitted Nv 1st

[shid]

I haven't recieved an email back...I submitted Nv 1st 
[right][snapback]354566[/snapback][/right]

hmmm.. Check again? @cox.net address right? You submitted pictures of yours and pressures, with some group shots too? I know I wrote you back because I asked for your contact info, and said I'd get pressures myself...




PS: My apologies for some of the email problems. Turns out between this year and last, my email provider put more strigent restrictions on incoming email sizes. ( )

As for the cut off date, yes, it's the 14th now. As for later cut off dates, there was a huge call last year to make Christmas. After the finalists are picked, it takes about 1-2 weeks to put the calendar together, than another week to get a test print. So if the cut off is the 14th, and we have 5 days of voting, the test print might not arrive til the 4th... which then means that you guys probably can't order it til the 5th.. which is cutting it a little close for christmas.

Could probably be extended to the 21st, or even Dec 1st. Last year's cutoff was Dec 7th, and we rushed through them all and got the cal out by the 23rd

OK great, I didn't see the email from you, maybe I had deleted it accidentily, sorry about that.

what contact info do you need ? I can email whatever you want
