Hey all... I decided to do a Pet calendar this year. :) I hope we get enough entries, if not, I may not be able to complete it. So as long as we get 12 entries, there will be a pets calendar!
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. I will fix the eyes if you are unable to.
Photo MUST be 1600 x 1200 pixels minimum. I don't want to use anything smaller because it won't print out right. If you send something smaller, it will show up small in the calendar.
Photo can be of multiple pets, as long as it's just pets. You must be the owner of the pets - PETS means anything other than cats and dogs. :)
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 October 1st.
You can view last year's calendars here:

They will be the same price this year: $25
I will also be creating T-Shirts, Mugs, and other items with the images. If you do not want your photo featured in those items, please specify that in your e-mail.
Send all entrys to [email protected] - WAIT! Keep reading before you send..
**IMPORTANT**
PLEASE include the following in your subject line:
"PET Calendar - <MONTH YOU WANT TO BE FEATURED>"
In the body of the e-mail include the following:
Owner's First Name:
PT Member Name:
Dog 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.
-------------------------------
Reminders:
-I may not be able to feature your image in the exact month you want.
-October 1st is the deadline to send in your entries.
-One entry means one entry - if you send more than one I will choose which I think will fit best.
-If you have any ideas, concerns, etc. please PM me.
-I will NOT accept entries via PM - e-mail only please!
Here are the photos I've received:
