The contest schedule is:
Entry submissions start July 26th

Submissions:
Please remember that this is primarily a Photo Contest, therefore, only photos that can be made to fit within the size and resolution requirements will be accepted.
Also remember the contest reflects your wood working and photo skills.
During this period of entry submissions, it may be found that certain pictures do not work at all. If the picture does not work, the submitter will be notified and given a chance to make the proper corrections. But the period will be short. Additionally, if there are not enough individual submissions in a category to have a meaningful vote, then some categories may be combined. This decision will be made by the BoD on the basis of what we think is best for the calendar.
Submission Rules:
All pictures must be submitted with a description that is suitable for inclusion in the calendar.
The pictures should highlight your efforts. Do not submit photos of other people's hard work.
You can not submit an entry that has won in a previous calendar contests.
Each picture must be capable of being re-sized and/or cropped into a picture that is 8 1/4" high and 11.5" wide and maintain at least a resolution of 200 dpi but 300 dpi would be considered ideal. At that size, there must be 1/2" border that could be trimmed off without cutting off any of the project image.
Do not lower the resolution of your images, please submit them at the highest resolution that you can.
Do not upconvert your pictures resolution.
You can submit as many photos as they wish and they can submit photos in multiple categories BUT you can only have one winning photo in any category. In the event of a tie the staff will decide the winner.
The staff reserves the right to move entries into what they feel is the proper category.
The staff reserves the right to return any pictures that do not meet the size and quality requirements or deem inappropriate for our calendar.
COVER SUBMISSIONS - The entries will be the same as other years. They must cover a 9" high by 11.5" wide area at, at least 200 DPI, but 300 DPI would be better. The cover should composite so that a 1/4" border will NOT be displayed due to full bleed printing.
Voting:
After the close of the submissions, all photos will be re-reviewed to ensure they meet the qualifications.
Voting will be done by the membership.
The top three entries in each monthly category will be declared the winner.
NO member may vote for their own entry.
