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.

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.). ;D

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.

;)

Our Current CafePress Offerings


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:

Hope that helps!

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

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

BIGGER is better!!!! LOL!

Gimme whatcha got! :D


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...  :poke:

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

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!

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. :D

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

Sorry. The crazy summer continues. I guess it's following the calendar, and not the "Memorial Day to Labor Day" rule.

Maybe some photo therapy will help console me this week (see Rat Tails & Mug Shots).

How soon can we expect to vote?  This is the first year I submitted pics so I'm excited!!

We will have it available long before Christmas right?  I just worry since its much later this year than other years.

I hope to have the whole thing done and up on CafePress by November 1, so, I hope to have voting ready next week. :)

Of course... my printer decides to have a world-class freakout today, with two pages of entries left to print... anyone have a baseball bat, an open field, and some gangsta rap? Because I'm ready to go "Office Space" on it. ;)

Edit: ...and it's dead. Lovely. Best Buy is on the agenda for this evening. *sigh*

Guess who got a new HP Photosmart tonight?

Did you guess me?

You guessed right!

All pages are printed, and ready to be cut up into little bits for the agonizing sorting!  :BlueDumboBigEyes:

I TOTALLY almost had a heart attack when I saw that there was a reply to this thread! I can't wait!
BTW Just out of curiosity...do you have more pic submissions this year than you did for last year?

LOL! No idea...

I go through the submissions, open each one in photoshop, and eliminate the ones that don't meet the size guidelines (I don't often have time to do that as they come in during the submission period... I leave that up to the submitters). After I got done with that yesterday, I had 62 photos. I had to bring it down to 48 from there.

I do think a lot more got eliminated this year because of size issues -- and some of them were really good.  :-\

When I say I need them to be BIG, I mean it. 3" x 4" at 72 dpi will FLAT OUT not work for print. No even a chance. I really, truly mean that I want raw camera files... which are generally 16" x 22" (or bigger) at 72 dpi. So, during the year, if you take a picture that you think you might want to submit, toss a copy of the untouched file into a special folder. For me?  :BlueDumboBigEyes:  :help:  :puppy_dog_eyes:  :poke:

This has been a public service announcement from the Calendar Committee.  ;D
