It's hard to believe, but another year has flown by and it's time again for the CS.com wall calendar!

So here's the official call for entries. Please submit your photo no later than Frday Oct 7, 2016. We've been doing this for a few years and it's always a big success. I'm looking forward to another great one this year! :grin:

We'll all vote on the photos and the top 12 will be used. They'll be on sale in time to get them for Christmas gifts. If you've been in previous calendars you can submit again, but not the same or similar photo. Please submit only one photo. If you're one of those fortunate enough to have more than one Special, please only submit one. (or maybe a group shot?)

To submit your pics email me at cs.comcalendar@gmail.com (has more space than my normal email)

OK, here's the catch... Your photo has to be a minimum size in order to print clearly on a full size calendar. It needs to be 1800x1200 pixels minimum (obviously bigger is better). Basically a 2.0 Megapixel or better digital camera or phone will work (if set at it's highest resolution). Any lower resolution and they just won't print well. Even the largest photos in the Gallery are too small. Sorry! And please don't take a smaller pic and change the resolution to bump it up to 1800x1200. It doesn't work that way unfortunately. The original needs to be at that resolution.

Thanks in advance for all the great photos I expect to get! :)

For those that don't have one hanging on your wall from last year, here's a shot of how it turned out:

Looking for more entries folks. At the moment we don't have enough to even fill the calendar, much less vote on the best photos. :undecided

I sent a photo of my Highland Green CS last week, sent you an email asking for confirmation of receipt and if it meets required pixels. No response as yet.

Neil, I got your email yesterday, but not the one from last week. Not sure why.

Of course you could use the 'Before & After' of the Highland Green CS::icon_pani

One year I went to the Gettysburg battlefield and photographed my car and sent them in but I found out that they weren't large enough .

Still only have 10 photos submitted. If we can't get a couple more soon I'll have to scrap the calendar for this year.:sad:

Hi Jon, thanks for doing these calendars and hopefully this year will work too.

An option for 2 of this year calendar's pages (could be the beginning and the end of the year; jan and dec) would be to use some of the 1968 GT CS fold-out sales brochure images, the "top cover unfolded" image and the "detail of interior, top" image.

My 2 cents. I always enjoyed this brochure, I could say one of the memorabilia that catch my eyes in the beginning of my GT CS liking, 20 years ago

Pierre, gtcs1

Looks like we got just enough submissions, so I'm going to start the voting tonight. We only have 12 photos, so everyone will get a month. The voting is really just to see who gets preference on which month... and of course the coveted cover shot! :wink:
