Yotatech calendar photo contest

Ok guys and gals, here’s your chance to be immortalized in Yotatech’s history…well, at least for a month. Post up the best pictures of your truck, 4runner, Tundra, Tacoma, etc. for a chance to be printed in a 12 month calendar. This is an off road forum so bonus points will be given to trucks that are being used off road. However, we will pick at least 1 street (nice and shiny) picture. The staff will choose 11 of the best pictures submitted. Keep in mind that this is the first time we’ve done this kind of thing so not even we know what we want to see. Maybe just nice scenery in the background, maybe airborne, maybe a truck on its side, who knows. We are not professional photographers so keep that in mind if you’re submitting something artistic. The 12th picture…the staff will pick a handful of the best pictures and let you guys vote for your favorite. The reason the staff will be doing most of the picking is because the last time the membership tried to vote on a forum wide thing (bumper stickers) some people’s toes were stepped on.

Guidelines:

1. Post your pictures here. For display in this thread, please reduce the size to 640x480 or smaller. Any pictures larger than this will be deleted.
2. Final pictures must be at least 1600x1200 pixels in size (2 mega pixels). Ideally 3300x2550, 300dpi is best (8 mega pixels). Pictures smaller than this may be considered, however, I’m still testing things out to see how bad smaller pictures print out. So make sure you have high resolution pictures available.
3. BMP, GIF, or JPEG formatted
4. Color set LMYK (if that means anything to you)
5. Landscape orientation only, no portrait.
6. Deadline for picture submissions to this thread is Saturday Nov 6th.
7. Limit of 5 submissions per person.

You will be able to order calendars directly from www.lulu.com for about $12 each. The final pricing hasn’t been set yet. Hopefully you can order them by December 1st, just in time for Christmas. And yes, the 12 lucky winners still have to pay for their own calendars!

OK for people to be in the picture? Like my college freshman teenage niece in her thong? Nah, that would be too easy. OK, how about naked dogs?

Good question. I think we'll lean toward the pictures without people. So you can submit it, but unless it's really good, we'll probably not select it.

Being the computer illiterate I am and not knowing how to re size I guess I'll just submit them and let you delete them if youd like.

Yup, way too big.

If you have microsoft office you should also have microsoft photo editor. Check in the start menu>Programs>Microsoft office tools

In there you can resize the images easily.
