Good Afternoon Everyone!

It's that time of year again to get out the camera and take some cool and unique photos to submit for the 2016 Dan Wesson Forum Calendar!  This year we'll be producing two calendars one for revolvers and the other for 1911's.  The rules are the same as previous years and I have listed them before for everyone's review.  This year rather than email them you will be able to upload them directly to the site.  The file size limit per photo is 10MB. 

Please let me know if you experience an issues with submitting your entries!  As always I look forward to seeing your  entries!

TERM

The 2016 Dan Wesson Forum Photo Contest begins August 20, 2015 at 12:00:00 p.m. US Eastern Time and ends September 30, 2015, 11:59:00 p.m. US Eastern Time ("ET") (the "Contest"). Information on how to enter form part of these official rules ("Official Rules"). By submitting an entry, each entrant agrees to the Official Rules and warrants that his or her entry complies with all requirements set out in the Official Rules. This is a skill-based contest and chance plays no part in the determination of winners.

WHO MAY ENTER

Contest is open to all registered members of the Dan Wesson Forum.

HOW TO ENTER

Each Entry consists of an entry form, a single image. To enter complete the entry form with the required information, including your name, forum screen name, email address, model, category and photo caption; and submit along with your photograph according to the instructions that follow.

Photographs featured in previous Dan Wesson Forum calendars are not eligible for submission.

The photograph must not, in the sole and unfettered discretion of the Sponsor, contain obscene, provocative, defamatory, sexually explicit, or otherwise objectionable or inappropriate content.

The caption must be complete and accurate, sufficient to convey the circumstances in which the photograph was taken. Disguising or misrepresenting the origin of your content is cause for disqualification.

All entries must be submitted by September 30, 2015 at 11:59:00 p.m.

RELEASES

If the photograph contains any material or elements that are not owned by the entrant and/or which are subject to the rights of third parties, and/or if any persons appear in the photograph, the entrant is responsible for obtaining, prior to submission of the photograph, any and all releases and consents necessary to permit the exhibition and use of the photograph in the manner set forth in these Official Rules without additional compensation. If any person appearing in any photograph is under the age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence the signature of a parent or legal guardian is required on each release.

Entrants consent to the Sponsor doing or omitting to do any act that would otherwise infringe the entrant's "moral rights" in their entries. Display or publication of any entry on an Authorized Party's website does not indicate the entrant will be selected as a winner. Authorized Parties will not be required to pay any additional consideration or seek any additional approval in connection with such use. Additionally, by entering, each entrant grants to Authorized Parties the unrestricted right to use all statements made in connection with the Contest, and pictures or likenesses of Contest entrants, or choose not to do so, at their sole discretion.

A little background for newer Members:

-DWF calendars started in 2010

-There have been a total of eight DWF calendars, in 2012 and 2014 there were additional 1911 specific calendars

-Once all the entries are in and posted on DWF, Members will vote for their favorites

-Jody does the usual great job of formatting the calendar

-Calendars are available on DWF for Members to purchase, proceeds are used to offset Forum operating costs

I normally get 2-3 each year, I still have one of each, original and in perfect condition, and give the extras away to people that have an interest in Dan Wesson's or DWF.

It's a pretty fun process, it's been several years since I submitted any photos, but I'm thinking maybe this year ...

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

My wife is the artsy one with the camera, but I managed to come up with a few ideas when she was at work the other day.  Now she wants a turn to come up with other shots, but here are the three that I liked and submitted:

Jody, please let me know if you need any help with the images. i.e. photoshop work, cropping and even layout. Don;t mean to step on toes if that is what you do or already have someone. I am a graphic designer and am always happy to help.

My submission.  A model 740 that was in sad shape when I received her.  I spent a lot of time fixing her up, I also learned a low about how a large frame works.

We have had some great looking entries this year, thank you to those who have participated thus far! However, we don't have enough entries to complete a calendar yet, so Jody has extended the deadline. He will be along soon with the final "hammer drop" for the 2016 dwf calendar entries.

So...BRING ON THEcool-picscool

I added photos via the form. Do I also need to upload to this thread?  Even if mine are not used I just want to make sure they were received.
