The WDA is having another calendar contest. Alta-Tollhaus photogs that are WDA members need to blast the judging panel with your great photos.
This is the official info:
The GSDCA-WDA office is accepting photo submissions for the official 2011 GSDCA-WDA calendar. An independent panel will judge the entries. Some of the top entries will be published in the GSDCA-WDA The Complete German Shepherd Dog and 12 winners will see their dogs in the 2011 calendar.
Here are the requirements:
- Send photo submissions to wdaphotocontest@gmail.com
- You can only submit photos that you have taken yourself (copyright law)
- All entries must be received by 30 April, 2010
- Minimum of 300 dpi of an 8 x 10 image
- Please do NOT include your dog’s name or any other identifying labels
- Please do include your contact information including WDA membership #
- All participants must be current members of GSDCA-WDA in good standing
- No professional photos please. We are looking for candid photos of your dog(s)
The twelve winning contestants will receive a free copy of the calendar. The calendar will be available for sale later in the year.
By entering your photos in the contest, you, the photographer, give GSDCA-WDA explicit permission to publish, distribute and reproduce your photo for commercial or any other reason in any GSDCA-WDA publication.
I think the “No professional photos please” means no official show photos of your dog(s). There were professional photogs that were entered in last year’s contest. If you enter a photo, I would probably recommend not signing it, especially if your normal signature includes “24kPhoto!” 😉
Are they going to produce a mini calendar again? Or are they going make at least a standard size calendar?
LOL—Nadia is in charge of the project. I believe that it will be a mini-calendar again.
So…why should we submit our photos? How about if everyone sends you their favorite photos and you make a calendar? Sorry, I don’t mean to devalue your post about the calendars, but unless they change the format they were useless.
Why submit your photos? Because I’d rather look at our dogs! We have darn good photographers and gorgeous dogs. Don’t worry about devaluing my post—I agree with you 100%.
OK. Send your photos to me and I will make calendars! 300 dpi and in the original size. I will crop accordingly. You have until the end of October. Send photos whenever you’d like and title the email Alta-Tollhaus Calendar.
Great idea, thanks for stepping up to the task Carole!
I joined the WDA on line but never heard back ……???
An Alta-Tollhaus GSD calendar sounds like a great idea!
Carole makes a calendar every year for her family and friends and it is VERY nice!
Lynda, your name was printed in the last Hunde-gram as was Karen’s.
@Julie
Well, that’s good to know. I was wondering if the on-line form had not worked. I guess I just have to wait a little longer to hear from them and get a membership number…?
