Calendar: *Special Contest*

The contest is now closed!
Hello forum members!

We are going to be putting together a Horsetopia Calendar for 2007 and will be accepting photos over the next several months. If you have a photo that meets the following criteria, please send it in! A prize will be awarded to the winner of the "cover" spot, as well as a first and second runner-up. (Prize details to be announced at a later date).

1. Photo must be high quality and digital. This means about 1612x1024 pixels or good enough for an 8" x 10" print. If you submit a photo and the resolution is too low, we won't be able to consider it.

2. Photos must include at least one horse as the main subject. (no people in the photos, please!)

3. Photos should be visually stunning and horizontally oriented (the photo should be wider than it is tall). You've all seen plenty of calendars -- photos should be clear and should have a great background (or at the very least, the background should be clear of trash and/or manure) .

4. You must own the rights to the photo. The photo must be taken by you (or a family member). Winners for each month may be asked to sign a release form, giving us permission to use the photo.

To submit a photo, please email it to <email removed, contest is closed>-- I will post the photo within a week of receiving it, if it meets the above criteria. Depending on the quality and quantity of photos received, this contest may remain open for quite some time.

This contest will not affect our regularly scheduled monthly photo contests. Additionally, you are free to submit photos to both contests simultaneously. If you have any questions, please feel free to email or PM me. Now, get out there with those cameras!

Here are our first two entries, both from L. Adkins of PA (not a forum member).





I have received others, but none that were high enough resolution to become a 8x10 print. I'm looking forward to seeing more!

Here are some more photo submissions! If you have sent a photo and it hasn't been posted then it is either too small (photos must be 1612x1024 pixels) or doesn't meet our other criteria.

Here are a few more from muttduck:









Again, the contest is still open. Anyone wanting to submit photos should read the guidelines above. I've gotten some absolutely stunning submissions that didn't meet our minimum pixel requirement (photos must be high enough resolution for an 8x10 print).

Here are some more great entries! If you sent one in and it hasn't been posted it was either too small or didn't fit one of our other requirments. Of course, it's possible I made a mistake, so please email me if you have any questions about why your photo hasn't been posted.

I've received a lot of photos since the last time that I posted entries. However, most of them were either too small, out of focus, or had inappropriate backgrounds. Unfortunately, since we're going to probably be going with 8x10" prints, editing objects out from the background of photos won't be possible, unless you are extraordinarily skilled with using photoshop or a similar program. I got a couple of great shots that had some editing in the background that became visible on a larger print.

Here are the latest batch of entries:

Whew! Here are the last entries for the special calendar contest!

If you sent one in and it's not here then it was probably too small to be considered or didn't meet our other criteria. If you think there was a mistake (which is entirely possible!), please email me with an additional copy of the photo you tried to enter.

Thanks everyone for your entries! You can look for the final twelve photos sometime soon. We'll be having a vote to see which photo gets the cover spot and the prize.
