Calendar 2014 picture selection, VOTE HERE!!! (until 15th of September) Options

[malpaso]

It is here. The voting. I do not want to make the same mistake as last year so will making voting public. I wanted from everyone who wanted to vote to pick 12 pictures from the list. Not less. Not more. Sadly there were people voting just for one or two cars and ignored effort of others. I know it is not easy to pick 12 (so in fact eliminate 8 nice pictures from 20). So I made decision to give chance to two groups of people.

a) I picked my favorite 12 pictures (you can find them on the bottom of this post). If you like my selection OR you just want your calendar (no matter what car is used) vote for DEFAULT. Default vote gives one vote to each car in "default selection".

b) YOU want to pick your own 12 favorite pictures. Vote for OWN SELECTION and post your 12 favorite nick names in this topic (just writing 12 nick names is fine). Own selection vote gives also one vote to each car in your selection.

- Voting ends on 15th of September 2013 (so in two weeks)
- All votes for all entries will be counted together the winner list will be created.

NOTE: after I saw whole group of pictures I just can not help my self but see as bit better calendar cover picture from IfWeChoose not the originally mentioned one from Tigawoods.

So you can mention this in your own selection posts as well (keep cover original OR nominate new one)

This way everyone can check results, everyone can see progress of voting. Below you can see all 20 pictures I received in high resolution = below are all only valid subscribers for voting:

I really do not know how to write instructions better to make people do something that gives me clear voting results . This is the last year I do something like calendar...

As you said here Malpaso, a better thought of Image selection would solve all of these problems. We should have stuck to the COTM winners get first pick, otherwise its the first 12 High Res to be submitted get in the calendar. If someone took too long to submit, thats their fault, not yours. When you receive 12 images, your good to go. If 20 werent selected in the first place, we wouldnt be here.

Me, nor Rentaspace, or anyone else is 'bagging you out' or 'having a go at you' about all of this, so theres no reason to get all worked up and say your not doing another calendar again, as all the ones you have done have worked out GREAT. We have discussed that your 2 options in this poll was a bit 'iffy' from the start, choosing from 'YOUR selection' or 'post our own' - But as i said, because there were 20 images, things like this were BOUND to happen. So next year, first 12 in, thats what it should be.

I think if we stuck to a definite selection process for the years to come, it would be 100% easier.

My last 0.2c in this situation, i'm all for the calendar with whatever you choose, my original comment was trying to state the BEST looking calendar possible.
