2009 USHPA Calendar Photo Request

As chapter of the year we should submit a few pics and hope to make the 2009 calendar. Here is how:

SEND IN YOUR PHOTOS FOR THE 2009 CALENDAR!

PHOTO SUBMISSIONS DEADLINE – MAY 31st

Please send us your horizontal-format digital photos or 35mm slides as candidates for the 2009 calendar project. Pull those flying shots that deserve consideration for next years calendars! Since our calendars are printed large format at high resolution, we prefer slides for the best possible reproduction, but high resolution digital submissions are accepted as well. (Pixel specs outlined below)

PHOTO SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Please be aware that some cropping is required due to the proportion of the printed calendar and bleed requirements.

Submit horizontal photos in slide or digital format. Digital photos should be a MINIMUM of 3120 W x 2400 H (7.5 mega pixels), although 3900 W x 3000 H pixels (11.7 mega pixels) is preferred. Submit unaltered photos. Do not resize or change photo. We will make appropriate adjustments to the photos for calendar use. Only submit photos taken after January 2006.

Each submission MUST INCLUDE:

Signed contributor agreement (1 per photographer)

Each photo MUST INCLUDE:

A submission form with the following: photographer’s name, mailing address, phone and email address. AND a photo caption, location, site name, pilot name, wing maker & model.
