2007 Calendar Pics Submission Thread

shut it man!

Hey chill. It's what the past rules stated. Why should they change? Then you are discriminating against people who do not have photoshop or the skills to use it. The rule makes sense.

If you are interested in being in the 2006 CEG calendar, here are the requirements:

=Note=
Although the 2005 Calendars were successful, in an effort to get back to 2004 (click me) level of calendar, there will be only one calendar with 12 CEGers' Contiques represented.

This means getting in will be tougher than last year. Resolution, clean car, great background, unique angles, mods, etc. are all very important.

Just because you have the wildest Contour on earth, you will automatically be eliminated if you don't have 1600 x 1200. You might have all categories nailed but your car is dirty. How is that calendar worthy? It's not.

1. Don't get upset/angry/bent out of shape/panties in a bunch
If someone criticizes your car, take it like a man. Everyone has an opinion - doesn't make it right. I do this on my free time and want to produce a good product for CEG, not deal with a bunch of s.

2. Must be a current CEG member
It doesn't make sense to have pics of cars of people that no longer are on CEG or own the car.

3. High Resolution - 1600 x 1200 MINIMUM
Many 2005 candidates were "elimintated" due to having low resolution pictures. Scanned or enlarged pics will not work. The higher the resolution the better!!!

4. High Quality
Pictures in your driveway, in front of your house, lined up at a car show, people/other cars/houses/telephone poles in the background, etc. are not calendar quality.

Suggestions: Take a look at auto magazines and see what kinds of pictures are used for cover and featured rides. Action shots, neat angles, multiple Contiques ( ) are big pluses.

5. "Work in progress" / damaged cars
Primered parts, meshless, one spare wheel, etc. are unacceptable. Contiques with dents, scratches, etc. most likely will be eliminated.

6. No repeat pictures
Pictures from 2004 or 2005 will not be used. Pictures from that same series will not be used.

7. Photoshop
Absolutely no PS pics.


8. Submission
Try to submit smaller versions of your pics. If you are considered to be a candidate, I will contact you requesting high resolution versions.

9. "Did I make it in the calendar?"
Please do not PM me asking me this. I will not answer. Just like 2004 and 2005, the final 12 will not be revealed until the calendar is complete - even those who made the calendar will not know.

10. Must be a Contour, Mystique or Mondeo
This was added for the wiseguy below.

=Other info=
Mods
Although visually very helpful, mods are not the only determination of inclusion/exclusion from the calendar. This is a calendar - it is visual. Cars can be any color, any year, mild to wild.

Who gets in
The process for selecting what pictures will be in the calendar will be at the discretion of a small panel of CEGers from throughout the country.
 
In addition to, you bought a new car.... Does that mean that you sold your contour? Give others a chance for once...

spend more time and money on your car and less on weed and maybe you can make it in too.
PS makes everything better. it can take ****ty ass shots and make something out of them...
