Default Contest #4 - Orchid Calendar

Time for another contest! This one will give something tangible to everyone and future proceeds from it it will support this growing orchid community.

I know a lot of you snap amazing pictures of your orchids. How about we publish our own Orchid Board calendar with member submitted photos.

Calendar will consist of 13 images (1 cover and 12 for individual months)

Calendar will look something like this:


Each photo will be captioned with the name of the orchid and the name/username of the person who took the picture.

Deadline: Saturday Sept 16 at midnight

Prizes:
For now prizes will include copies of the calendars. If your picture will be featured in the calendar, you'll get a copy. If you feature 5 photos, you'll get 5 copies.

EDIT:
This mottled paph will go to the winner of the cover photo:
 

Kindly sponsored by Todd Machiela of www.machielasorchids.com


This will be a great project I hope we see some great entries.

Please email any calendar entries to
calendar@orchidboard.com

You may post a sized version (not larger then 640px in width) of your image in this thread for all to see. I will select the final choices and we will vote for the cover image together.


Contest rules.

1. Images must be submitted unsized and at maximum resolution.

2. Once you submit an image you give orchid board the right to manipulate it/size it/crop it and alter it in any way we want in order to use it, and also re-use the image at a later time in conjunction with other Orchid Board activities.

3. Submitted image must be your own work. Use of other or copyright material will result in immediate disqualification

Enough RULES, Have FUN & GOOD LUCK!

Neat trick there with that calendar sample image up there. Making me think that one of mine has already been chosen.

Needless to say, I'll send a couple/few in.

Default Dimensions of photos

I would like to send in some entries. However, it would be helpful if I knew at least the ratio of width to height for the prints. It wouldn't make much sense to send in a tight portrait image (taller than it is wide) that would be impossible to crop to fit the page.

I have an old calendar here, and the pictures are actually square, but I'm sure calendars are made in many sizes/dimensions.

Thanks,
Linda

I just battered your inbox with several photos that are taller than they are wide (and probably unusable!). Sorry about that!

Thanks, be sure to include original filesizes without compressing them. Wider then taller is actually what we need, but if the resolution is high enough, the vertical shots might be usable too.

ian.m: Your paph pic is great! even in the little sample

be sure to include your OB UserID along with the photos, most of you I know just by your usernames

Hi Marty,
I'd like to enter, but my uncompressed file size is in the region of 98mb. Are you sure you want all of that?
