Hey all,
Make sure you sign up on membercalendars.com to receive a reminder email to notify you when the contest begins. 2 FREE calendars will be sent to each of the 13 winners of the individual contests.
Some tips for a good photo:
Choose creative scenery for the background of your photo, like a beach, forest or mountain range. Make sure your camera is set to the highest quality/resolution. The calendars will be landscape oriented NOT portrait.
Remember, these are GM branded calendars so keep it clean. Let your car do the talking!
All calendars will be MADE IN THE USA by car loving Americans!

***Rules and Tips for Calendar Contest*** We thought it would be helpful to put together an informative thread to explain the rules and suggest some tips for the calendar contests going on at MemberCalendars.com, so here goes:
Rules to remember
1. No people in the photos. If you have a nice photo with you or someone in the car, do your best to touch up the image and remove people/company signs and logos. We want a car and a background, thats it.
2. Photos need to be set up as landscape, or, as rectangles with a 4:3 aspect ratio. There is a help button on the website explaining this in more detail, look for it when you are prompted to upload your photo. No small files or huge files will pass the upload checker.
3. Make sure it is YOUR photograph
4. One photo per user per car. If you have 2 or more cars and pictures for them, have your significant other or a friend sign up and submit. No images (even if they are different angles) of the same car, please.
Some Tips
1. Altering an image with a design software such as Photoshop is ok. Make sure you don't make a car into something it is not (like adding or removing parts). This is not a necessary step however, don't feel like you have no chance if your photo is untouched and natural. Some people prefer that, which is why this is a public vote.
2. Group photos of cars are encouraged, as long as they are all similar cars that are eligible for the specific contests in which you are entering them. (So no Mustangs with a Camaro and a Firebird, got it?)
3. Feel free to post a couple of images on the Calendar threads here on the forum (even this one) to get some opinions from other members. You might have 2 or 3 photos you are considering so have your own mini-vote to determine which one to submit, if that helps you decide on one.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!!
Spread the word to others who might be interested in submitting a photo. If there aren't enough images to make a calendar, there will be no calendar. If you like this idea and concept, which isn't new (club calendars have been around since there have been clubs and printing presses), you have to promote the idea to others. Of course we want to see all the calendars be successful. Every calendar we print will credit your forums, which is good for the enthusiast community. There's a noob born every minute, this will only help the exposure of the forum networks.
Only YOU can create calendars, we're just the ones who will ultimately put the ink on paper for you.
Good luck to all and feel free to ask questions or comment, we're doing all that we can to respond to everyone.
Thanks.
