| The entry deadline is October 1, 2010. I am hoping this will get stickied so I don't have to keep reposting this message. For those who have emailed me with questions this should answer them for you. To give myself some time to work on them I would like to receive any picture submissions for those of you who want to enter by OCTOBER 1. I will make exceptions for those of you with good excuses (ie you were deployed, in a coma, etc...) but I can't wait forever. I ask for this time to allow myself time to work on it, get it to the printer and get it to you all before next year. I know, call me slow but this is not my day job. I am doing this for the members of TT.net and work on it during my free time. Last year I charged $23 each which covered the printing and shipping only. Per the urging of many members they will be $25 even this year to cover some additional expenses I incurred and absorbed during the process last year. I feel really guilty tacking on those $2 but I don't want to have to suck up the extra amount this year. NO money or orders are being requested at this time. Around November I will start taking the orders to see where we stand. I do ask that if you DO want a calendar, please email and let me know the quantity so I can have an idea of the numbers so I can let the printer know. Birthdays. If you want your birthday in the calendar make sure you send it to me in a seperate email from the pictures. You don't have to have a pic in the calendar to get your birthday in it. Just put "TT.net birthday" without the quotes in the subject line so it gets to the correct folder. Anyone with a birthday in the current calendar will be in the 2011 one so you don't have to resubmit it. All entries that FOLLOW the entry rules will be posted for the members to vote on. The top 12 will get the slots. This will be in a seperate post which hopefully will get stickied at a later date like last year where we can keep it up for a week to let a good vote go through. Those who enter that don't get a 12 months will have a chance to get on the bonus page at the back (see below). Keep in mind I get the final decision on what goes in the calendar or not. If the pics submitted are not up to spec, poor condition or the owner doesn't submit enough pics, etc.. then they will be removed and a new car substituted. 
The requirements for submission:
1) The pics must be hi res. At least 5MP but preferrably 8MP or larger.
2) The pictures need to be scenic. Urban, country, whatever. I would love to get a few pics from some seasonal settings like winter or fall. See SilverTwins pics below for example. Pictures taken in your driveway or other similar settings doesn't count. So think about your background which is as important as the car.
3) You need to send in at least 8 pictures for me to choose from. But feel free to send more.
4) Be creative. The best pic will get the cover which I will choose.
5) If you send pics with hot women in them I won't complain. :)
6) The pics sent in MUST have the same look to the car. (ie - last year I had someone send in pics of their car with three different sets of rims on it. I use most pics sent in and three different sets of rims would not have worked on the calendar.
7) Cars can be anywhere from stock to highly modified. All are eligible. Except that vigorzx body kit. =)
8) You will need to send in a mod list and contact info to me in case I have questions about your cars.
9) Pictures should be sent to my email at Chris.Touponce@comcast.net and put in the subject line "calendar" without the quotes. That way it will get routed to the proper folders. 
The calendars are:
1) Printed on hi glass heavy photo paper
2) Spiral Bound
3) Punched and ready for the wall
4) When opened up they are 11x17
5) They will have at least 5 pics of your car featured Here are a few pics of last years to give our new members an idea of what it looked like. 
Sorry about the long winded post. I just wanted to give you all a heads up. I will make a reminder post occasionally to keep everyone in the loop. Thanks and happy picture snapping. ChrisZTT
