The official cut-off date is indeed September 30, so we'll take submissions up until that point. I may be forced to push it back a little bit though, as we've had exactly one submission so far.....

I'll send out copies of the waiver form in just a few minutes to everyone who requested one. Mr. Howes, I apologize for the delay sending one to you. I think Abi and I each thought the other of us was checking the submission email for requests. Ooops! Again, my apologies.

Oh, I kinda thought this had been dropped or something and uploaded the pictures I would have submitted to DeviantART... would that be a problem? If so I can submit some of the other photos.

You can see the photos here, is that the sort of thing you're looking for?

Not that I would have entered anyway, but if I had thought to, those would put me right off... I could never compete! Those pictures are lovely, you're so pretty  Grin

Aah I don't want to put people off! Though it sounds like there won't be much competition as they're lacking entries. But thanks though Cheesy

Thank you Mephit!  I do have a question (or three): I read color photos are requested, no black & white, and no sepia - what about color wash?  It's color, but very light.  Sort of like tinting.  Or   Also, are effects such as aging the photo permissible?  Or will any effects, etc. be done on your end & we need only submit raw standard full color no effects added photos?

If I could get a nice vest going on, I would submit one...  AAAAAAAAND I may yet still, vest or no-depends on how this doctor's visit goes.  I know a spot that'd make for a really nice Railway Pinup...

Assuming you ladies don't mind my gracing the pages?

Very pretty! No, I don't think there's any problem with using your photos just because you've also uploaded them to another site as well. As long as they don't do anything nasty like try and co-opt your copyright of the work just because you've uploaded it (not that I think DeviantART does that, it's just something that's been a problem in the past on the internet), I can't see how it would hurt anything. As long as the photos meet the submission guidelines as posted in the first message on this thread, I'm happy to receive them.

Feel free to send it over to us. I'll take a look at it and see. The major issue is that the background art of the calendar is a parchment paper type thing. Sepia and gray-scale photos just kind of blend in with the background rather than grabbing the eye. If the color tint is very soft, I think it may have the same problem.

Aging effects are fine I suppose, though I was planning on putting a border around each photo (and the photo has a background around it anyway) so burned or ragged edges or the like would possibly look very odd. "Why is the photo burned but ornamental border and the parchment it's printed on not?" kind of thing. You can do an image search for Victorian postcards to get an idea of what I'm going for.

Just to make sure everyone knows: we are indeed accepting male and female submissions. Everyone is welcome to send us something.

Oh great, I'll send them to you once I've done the waivers Cheesy I just wasn't sure if you wanted the photos to be exclusive to the calendar and not available anywhere else or anything like that.

I'm behind getting my photographers permission. Don't know if I'll have if by tomorrow but I will work on it. And look for the email with the release.

If there is anyone who fancies being in this and wants their pics taken ill shoot your muggins.

Only thing is you will have to be in the Birmingham area. (UK) and available weekday evening.

Cheers

Well I have two photos & can't decide.  So I sent them both with one waiver & will let the decision rest with you, should either one make the final cut.

I suppose (but only for someone as beautiful as you) I could be persuaded to push the date back a little....  Cheesy

Since we seem to actually be getting submissions now, I'll keep accepting them for a bit longer.

Very nice, indeed.  If you combined the pose with the book and the one of those awesome backgrounds it'd be even more steamy and then all of us gents would have to buy a calendar : )

Submitted pictures, requested waivers, have heard nothing back as of yet-is this thing still ago?  I know I missed the submission deadline by just under a day, but if someone could let me know one way or the other, so if my pictures are NOT to be used, I can post 'em elsewhere on the site? Cheesy

Also, I'm still waiting on the waiver to be sent to me via email, so yeah...

We are indeed still on. I was just out of town for the weekend. You can, however, feel free to post your photos elsewhere on the site if you'd like. I'm OK with them being both in the calendar and on the web somewhere. As to the waiver, I've sent you the file now.
