Sky Calendar Photo Contest
So here is an idea that may or may not take off.

I am really into photography and was trying to pick 12 shots of my car to make a calendar with. Needless to say, I got sick of seeing the same car over and over....So here is where you all come in. I've seen mentions of other photo contests on the forums (kappasphere for example) but this is a little bit different.

I propose we suggest a monthly theme, everyone submits an entry (photo) for the 'theme' that we will all vote on. Biggest vote getter wins that month, and has their photo on that month in the calendar. By the end of the year, we'll have a collection of 12 images that we can all take and get printed into a calendar (or just cool monthly backgrounds for our computers)

What do you all think? Good idea, bad idea? Worth the time? Not really.

Anyway, I'll start. I propose August "Back to School" Get your Sky in some type of 'school' setting, or 'school' theme.

Since we are getting started late in august, I say we vote first week in September. How does that sound?

In my opinion.. this is a good idea.. but maybe more generalized.... like the seasons..... or parts of the country... ocean.. mountains... things like this... the school thing is ... .ahhh..... anyway... Go to the beautiful sky pics thread... Skips threads.... alot of Great pics there.... I make calendars also and just have the members send me the pics they want to use.... and put theirs on the cover...etc..etc..... SkyBaby Best of Luck

Just put some black numbers on the side and the car will look like a school bus.
Sorry RMFN I couldn't resist.

That is an awesome pic RMFNSKY!

I would resent that Yellow School Bus comment. If you yellow SKY guys want to use your car for a business, this one is more lucrative!

Sorry, couldn't resist........photoshop was calling me like the devil on my shoulder!
