Rules for Calendar Picture Submission

Every year our club puts together a weather calendar to sell as a fundraiser item. All the money raised from these calendars goes toward our storm chase scholarship. What makes these calendars special is that they have always featured pictures from people closely tied to our weather program here at COD. Often, these are pictures taken by people who have gone chasing on one of our storm chase trips. These calendars have been getting better every year and we want this trend to continue. Therefore, if you wish to submit a photo to be in our calendar we ask that you follow these rules:

    1. The photo MUST be your own! Do not just pull an image off the web, this infringes on copyright laws. DO NOT STEAL ANYBODY'S PICTURES!

    2. Make sure the image quality is high. Image resolution should be NO LESS than 1024x768, but we would prefer resolutions closer 1600x1200 (The bigger the better!)

    3. The photo itself should be clear. Blurry images will not be selected for the calendar.

    4. We would prefer the photo to not be altered in anyway. If you do chose to edit your photo(s) (ie. Cropping, Color correction, brightness/contrast adjustment), we ask that you keep it to a minimum. We are after realistic pictures of weather.

    5. The photo must be weather related. Nature shots are nice, but that's not what we are looking for.

    6. Include some basic information on the photo; At the very least, include where and when the picture was taken.

As long as the photo(s) you are submitting do not violate any of these rules, we will use your picture in our selection process. All submissions are reviewed by the Officers and will be narrowed down to a list of a couple dozen pictures. This selection will then be voted on by COD AMS Club members to select 12 pictures for each month in the calendar and 1 picture for the cover. If your picture is selected for use in our calendar, we will give you credit for the picture in the calendar.

If you have pictures you would like to submit, e-mail your pictures to cod.ams.officers@gmail.com.
