2012 A32 Calendar

EDIT: With very limited interest and entries I'm sad to inform you all that the 2012 calendar will NOT happen. We only received 10 entries, of which only 8 could be used.


2012 A32 Maxima/I30 Maxima.org Calendar

Rules and Regulations

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE POSTING
  • A32 chassis car’s ONLY, any submission’s of other chassis’ will be disregarded.
  • The calendar will be in an 11X17" (pictures will be 11x8.5” and the actual calendar will be 11x17”) format. Just like previous year's all picture submitted need to be at least 200 PPI. We would prefer 300 PPI. If your pictures come in anything less it will be tossed out.
  • NO cell phone picture’s, absolutely none. We don’t care if your phone is 8mp, phone pictures are normally of very low quality and noisy.
  • Pictures must be at least 8mp (pixel height of at least 2336, any less and we can’t work with it. If you do not know how to find this information; locate the picture on your computer [my pictures folder, etc, etc], right click the picture and click Properties, once in properties click the Details tab, once inside Details scroll down to image and here you will find the dimensions in pixel size.)
  • All entries will need at least 6 photo’s meeting the above guidelines.
  • NO people, cars only.
  • Original, unedited pics (straight from the camera).
  • If possible, use a tripod for sharpness.
  • “Landscape”/horizontal style photo’s only, no “portrait”/vertical style photos.
  • Make sure that any picture you take has at least a 1/2" trim all the way around for picture bleed in cropping and printing. (IE; make sure the car does not touch the edge of the picture on any side. INTERIOR, MOTOR, ETC, ETC SHOTS DO NOT HAVE TO MEET THIS REQUIREMENT.
  • All picture’s should be taken by you unless you have the photographers permission to use said photo’s.
  • All photo’s will need to be sent to aackshun@yahoo.com
  • Obviously, all vehicles submitted cannot be used in this single calendar. A panel comprised of un-biased staff members will make the final selections. Consideration will be given to multiple factors. Please be aware that the images selected will be enlarged to achieve calendar size and any “grainy” appearance would be magnified. Only the sharpest and clearest images can be used.
  • All 4th gens are welcome, stock or modified. (please note that entries with visible damage will not be considered. Don’t take this to the extreme, minor rock chips or other minor imperfections are okay, we’re talking about dented fenders, etc.).
  • All entries must be of your current car.
  • Limit of one car per photo, unless it is a group photo (IE, Houston maxima’s, SoCal maxima’s, etc). Also note, no cars other than A32’s allowed in those photo’s.

All entries must be submitted by midnight CST on November 16, 2011

Calendar’s will need to be pre-ordered, with at least 15 order’s placed to reserve a price of $20/each shipped (If paying with paypal please cover the paypal fee's). If we do not meet the 15 order minimum all money will be refunded. All order’s must be in by December 9, 2011. We may order a few extras but that’s a MAYBE.


Rules are subject to change, if there are any changes we will post here.

Also note, Aacshun (Aaron) is in charge of the calendar, I am doing the design side. There will be a handful of judge's that will judge. Pictures will not be judged solely on the cars appearance but also on the photography aspect.

Winner's will be notified via PM by November 23rd. The calendar should be layed out and ready to order by November 27th. Again, all payments must be submitted no later than midnight CST on December 9th.

NOTE: This thread is not for posting pictures in, nor is it to order the calendar

Also: If anybody has any questions feel free to PM me, I will get back to you as soon as possible


All photo entries are to be submitted to aackshun@yahoo.com




Also peeps, from this point forward be sure to include your username with your email. If you have submitted please send ME an email at tigersharkdude@yahoo.com.

Give me your username with the corresponding email addy you used to send in pics

That's up to Aaron. Most likely sometime around Thanksgiving, unless we get a number of people who would like to order early

This is a design template I made, I used my car in the template simply because I had easy access to the pictures. C&C welcome


I have redone the "strip" across the bottom so that all vertical bars are now the exact same size (the above pic doesn't reflect this change)

The orders will start after the photo deadline (Nov 17th 12:01am)

Honestly by then I should know if we have enough participants to make the calendar or not.

Who said we need shots of your trunk??

Creativity is where it's at gentlemen, read between the lines on the rules, I tried to make it as open as possible to get some good participation....

TRUE. The pictures I used just happened to be some pics I liked that fit within the rules. We aren't looking for certain pics (IE; engine, rear, etc). As Aaron stated..creativity is what we are looking for

There was not a calendar last year, there was one TWO years ago though, the layout is not the same, knowing this you still want references to the old one?

Tigershark posted the layout of this one? What else do you need? Or maybe I'm misinterpreting your question
