PT Cats Calendar 2007 ~ Get your photo in!

[Kfamr]

Hey all.. It's that time again!

I figured I'd start accepting entries for the calendar. Can we set a few rules though?

• Photo MUST be clear.
• Please just original photos. No photoshops - however, brightening/darkening, red eye changes, etc. are fine.
• Photo MUST be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum. I don't want to use anything smaller because it won't print out right.
• Photo can be of multiple cats, as long as it's just cats.
• ONE entry per PT Member, lets give everyone a chance to be in the calendar.
• Once you send your photo to me, you're claiming it's ownership as well as giving me the permission to use it.
  
• Lets make the deadline for sending in photos September 1st.

Send all entrys to [email protected] - WAIT! Keep reading before you send..

PLEASE include the following in your subject line:
"CAT Calendar - "

In the body of the e-mail include the following:
Owner's First Name:
PT Member Name:
Cat Name(s):

----------------------------------

A few photo tips:

-Natural lighting usually makes for the best picture.
-Headshots will make your cat more prominent in the calendar.
-The less background clutter, the better the shot. Flowers, scenery, etc are a nice touch.
-If you have more than one cat, try getting them in one photo so no one is left out.


Feel free to take a look at last year's calendar and give me input.

Sounds like a brilliant idea! I will try to get a good pic of Zsa-Zsa. So you just need my first name if I enter? I don't mind giving you my full name, just don't tell my mum

[catmandu]

As those Dear Cats are 16, and I would like to see them honored.
They arent exactly chummy so that may not be easy.
I will do the best I can.

[Suki Wingy]

ok, I guess I'll enter my one of my dad's cats for him. I just have to find the full version of the picture. I attatched a small. Her name is Shelby.
edit: it's bigger than I thought! Is this size ok, I think it's the full. We took that pic for stuffonmycat.com

[Jessika]

This will be a little easier for me to enter, I only have one cat, lots of good photos but few are my favorites!

[catmandu]

heres one of Michael and The Moose, but I want the Princess and Michael.

What a wonderful idea! I buy a charity calender every year, last year bought a bunch of stuff like calender, wrapping paper, tags, advent calender for Jack & Sunny etc at Christmas from Cat's Protection (great way of raising funds for your favourite charity people, in case you don't already do this!) but I would consider buying this, does any of the money raised go to a charity? (doesn't matter if it doesn't)
I think i spotted scrappy two on the last one?!
Joseph has to be on this years calender!

[catmandu]

Joseph would be a good choice, but I really want Michael and the Princess who are getting old,as I want them to be honored.
Maybe JJJ3 and The Moose next year.

I've got some pictures that I think are pretty good of my two cats, but I don't have any of those shots where they are together. I've got to find shots that are higher resolution. I take them in like 2200 by something, but I resize them for people's browsers, and now I cannot find the larger ones.

Boi Brown would love to be on a calender :P Tangerine would too, but I think I'd submit boi, because of his recent fighting for his life.

Yep, the amount of money that actual falls into my name (around $5 per calendar, I believe) goes to my local Humane Society. I believe last year's donation was around $250 something - between the PT Dog and PT Cat calendars. This year I may buy an extra calendar to send along with the donation.

[CultureJunky]

That's great, I will definately be submitting a picture of Jack & Sunny together soon, I'll try and get a new one, of them both outside enjoying the sun

[Miss Z]

Mine's sent!

[buttercup132]

Theres a cat one too! Oh I'll have to enter my girly.

[Kirsten]

That's great news that there's going to be a 2007 calendar!

I'm going to email you a photo of Luna (Lily is already in the 2006 calendar, so it's only fair to send Luna's photo this time! ).
