Call for Entries - AZ 2009 Calendar!

Due to the outcome in voting for an official Audizine Calendar in this month's Audizine Poll, we're opening up the gates for photo submissions.

So, if you have some photos that you took of your Audi...or your friend's Audi...or any number of Audis, then we'd love to see 'em. There are some rules and requirements though, so read on.

• The photo must have been taken by you
• If the photo includes vehicles which don't belong to you, please get the permission of those owners
• The original file must be hi-res (print quality), approximately 11" wide and 8" tall at 300dpi
• If chosen, you will be required to provide all rights of use to Audizine

If your photo(s) meet these requirements then please upload them to your Audizine Gallery and send us an email with your username and the links to the images. Or, if you have low-res versions of the images then you can also email them directly to us, again providing your Audizine username. Please send the entry emails to: [email protected]

Due to time constraints we'll need all entries by midnight Monday December 1st. If we receive enough quality entries by the deadline, then we will proceed with the production of the calendar and the chosen entries will be notified.

[adam's rotors]

No need to post it here. As it says in the first post above, send me a link or low-res pic of your favorite.

so how do i go about uploading the image on the audizine gallery if the file size limit is 1000kb but my images are 3+ mbs?

should i just upload a smaller resolution picture, then if you decide you want to use the pic i can send you the full size?

Yes please. Or email the smaller version to us directly at the address above.

For those posting your pics here, please note that it's totally great and all but in order to be officially considered for the calendar you must send an email to [email protected]. All of the info is in my first post.

Thanks, guys, and let's keep them coming!

I've already sent in my entry, but what's the best way to convert an image to 300dpi and get the best possible quality of the shot? I did a simple change of the image attributes in Photoshop, but wondered if there was a better way. I don't have professional camera equipment, so I'm working with digital cameras that only take shots at 72dpi.

You don't need to do any converting to your image. DPI is only for printing purposes. The image file has its own resolution. Since these need to be around 300 dpi at 11"x8" just make sure your photo is at least 3300x2400 pixels. So a 8 megapixel camera would be sufficient in this case.

Camera is only a 7 megapixel. Original size is 3072x2304.

[Anthony]

Yeah the original photo needs to be at the sufficient resolution/size to begin with, as there's no real scaling up for print. If selected, we'll just have to see if we can work with it or not.

i know i use this pic all the time, but i really really wish i had the hi-res version of this photo:



and a couple favorites from the years, photo's courtesy of Church!







unfortunately, i don't have any hi-res copies to send to anthony :(

[Anthony]

Me too, as that's a great shot and could certainly make the cut.

And I don't think we've received any entries from Church yet, unfortunately.

hey i didnt know about this post

[FrankA6]

how "HIGH RES" can it be? i know it says "about" 11x8 but whats the highest?

[actlsub9]

The higher the resolution the better. Everything can be scaled to fit. You guys are getting too caught up on DPI.

An great image that is 3200x2300 is still going to looks better scaled up and printed then a shitty image that's already 3300x2400.

REMINDER: The final day to submit your photos for consideration is this Monday, so get us those entry emails!

[MikTip]

[Bee Five]

[b6a4]

how many entries went in? also when will we know?..wish i was good at photoshop..

[Anthony]

I haven't done the math but we've received a lot of entries, and we'll definitely have enough to fill all 12 spots. But you guys still have tonight by midnight to send in your pics, so don't let that sway you. We'd still love more!

[SupraBlur]

Anthony, did you email back those of us who emailed our entries? I didn't get a response message from you, so I'm hoping it got in. =)

No we haven't emailed anyone back. Will try and do so tonight.

My Submission:

(But higher quality)

[Monizzle]

not allowed to upload any images to my gallery because i'm supposedly over my quota even after deleting images? can i send the hi-res to you guys directly, can they have watermarks?
oh and my hi res images range from 7-14mb a shot depending on camera...
some shots i want to submit

[A4TUNE]

so do you plan on using one image per platform? like 1 b6A4, 1 B5S4, 1 B7 RS4, etc..?

[Anthony]

Not really possible, because as one could imagine we've received more B6 and B7 A4 shots than any other. But, we are going to try and use as broad of a range of models as we can.

No watermarks, but we will be giving photo credit just below each image. I love your last two shots, but I don't recall seeing the bottom one being submitted.

[Kievskiy]

Hey Anthony, any c5 entries??? we will be having a nice photoshoot at BRR meet, so i was wondering if this still will be open, the meet is on Dec 7th

[SupraBlur]

No we haven't emailed anyone back. Will try and do so tonight.

Only reason I asked was to make sure the entry actually got submitted. =)

[Tommy@Nemesis]

How about this one:
Anthony, I have versions of this without Wes's name at the bottom as well. Just wanted to feel this one out...

[TDI]

[vtracer20]

hey anthony, did you get my pics i submitted? just checking

[Anthony]

You're still welcome to submit pics past the deadline, but we've already begun choosing those that will make it to print. We hope to have the final 12 locked in this weekend, and I'll be doing my best to reply to all entry emails ASAP.
