2006 Photo Competition
« on: February 22, 2006, 12:22:46 AM »
I have received a couple of enquiries from members and so thought I would post this message to confirm that there WILL be a 2006 Photo Competition and 2007 Calendar.

The competition:

- Will be open to anyone who wants to submit pictures of an Aloha including AOA members, A34 owners, friends of members, etc. The people (not necessarily members) submitting the top 3 entries will receive a complimentary copy of the calendar as their "prize".

- There was concern that the entries that made it into this years calendar didn't include representatives of every model. For the 2007 calendar I will be including the highest placed 27, 28, 30, 32 and 34 pictures, plus the 8 other highest scoring pictures.

- Entries need to be landscape (i.e. horizontal) JPEG images of 2 mega-pixel or greater. I'll be reducing the size and compressing them for display on the competition site, but using the full size originals in the calendar.

- Pictures submitted for the 2005 competition are not eligible to be entered again this year.

- I won't be setting up the email address to receive the entries or the web pages to display the entries and conduct the voting until September, but in the meantime, it isn't long now until the start of the season when you'll need to get snapping!

Since this hasn't been mentioned since back in February this was before quite a few people joined this forum (and in any case as a timely reminder now we're all afloat) please see the note above about the 2006 Photo Competition.

The 2005 Competition proved popular and the profit from sales of the resulting Calendar have just about covered the website & forum costs for the year. I'd love it if we could get a similar size and quality of entry again this year. I mentioned last year that we need boats both moored and under sail, and I realize getting under sail pics can take a bit of planning. As well, it would be great if we could get a real cross section of all sizes and models.

So, get snapping and watch for details of where to send your pics at the beginning of September.

The Photo Competition draws near! Entries will be accepted September 16th to October 3rd and voting will be held October 4th to the 14th, with the results to be announced immediately afterwards.

If you don't already have some great shots "in the bag" and ready to enter, don't forget to take some during the next month.

More details to folllow when entries can be submitted.  See --->>> 2006 Photo Competition - ENTRIES NOW BEING ACCEPTED
