Questions about the Calendar -- Ask away!

[Rattiemama]

Hey Suebee, will you send out a notice that you recieved the email with our photo submissions? Just wondering how we'll know you got them.

[Suebee]

As I have mentioned a few times, I will only send a reply if there is an issue with your submission (missing info, problems downloading the files, etc.).

[Rattiemama]

Oops! Sorry for asking again. Good luck narowing down submissions!

I didn't read through all 6 pages here to see if this has already been asked, so sorry if it's a repeated question...is there any way that perhaps after pictures have been decided perhaps there can be a rat date book calender? I ask b/c I'm more often relying on my date book than the calender pinned up (it's on the month of May right now  ) is there any way that perhaps some date books AND calanders can be made?

We use CafePress to do our printing (and money collection, and shipping), so I am only able to offer what they offer. At this time, they only offer 4 different Wall Calendars -- 11" x 8.5" Wall Calendar, a single-image yearly calendar, and two oversized calendars (11x17 horizontal or vertical). The oversized ones would not work for the image sizes that are generally submitted, so we are left with the 11x8.5 variety.

We also sell some items through Zazzle, but they do not do calendars at all that I am aware of. They do, however, have much better quality t-shirts, which you can actually select your own style and colors, unlike CafePress. This is why our tees are through Zazzle:

For entries, is the pixel amount the limit or can digital photos be larger than the number you posted?

[Scubbs]

How's this year doing as far as entries go?  A lot, or not many?

BIGGER is better!!!! LOL!

Gimme whatcha got!


As for entries... 36 people have sent in images. Not everyone sent in the maximum, but for ease of counting, I'll say we have about 100 photos submitted so far.

Not many days left... if you've been procrastinating, the time is now... 

[Sarahha]

Sorry if this info is somewhere else, but if there are 100 photos, how many will go on to be voted on?

[Suebee]

It's all explained in the General Information thread (sticked and locked).

When can we expect the voting to start for the 2009 calendar?

I believe it will be a few more weeks.  She extended the deadline so that in turn extends how long it will take to process.  I'm sure she'll let us know soon enough!!
Thanks Suebee for all the hard work!!  Everyone who comes in my kitchen loves the Rats Rules Calendar!

[Suebee]

Yep, it'll be a few more weeks. I have had the single most crazy summer this year, and aside from just collecting entries in a folder, I haven't even had timem to ponder them, much less start sorting them. Now that summer's sort-of over, I hope to have more time.

Just keep watching this section of the forum for the polls...
