This year we are going to have a competition to choose the photographs for the calendar - to be judged by Dr Clare Rusbridge and Penny Knowler cl*pcl*p
There will be an entry fee of £1 per photo, or 12 for £10 and together with the proceeds from the sale of the calendar, this will be divided equally between Irish Cavalier Rescue {run by the owner of this forum, Karlin Lillington} and Rupert's Fund.
www.ckcsrescue.com and www.rupertsfund.com
***Entries for the cover are free - for Cavaliers who have passed away since September 2009.
Each photo can only be entered ONCE into the competition, and can only be cropped and/or sharpened, EXCEPT for photos entered into the "Digitally Manipulated" Class. The photo must have been taken by yourself, and by entering, you are allowing us to use the photo for the calendars {but you retain the copyright}. The competition is open to all members of the forum in all countries - the judges are totally independent to allow everyone to be able to enter.
You can enter more than one photo per month.
You MUST be able to supply large JPGs at the end of the judging {early October} - otherwise, another photo will be used for the calendar.
There will be a prize for the winner of each category - if anyone would like to donate prizes, these would be gratefully received {please e-mail me at [email protected]}
Prizes need to be fairly lightweight as they may need to be posted Internationally.
Orders will be taken for the calendar at the start of the October, and payment will be required for an order to be accepted.
The front cover will again feature our Cavalier companions who have sadly passed away since the previous calendar {September 2009 to date}.
The themes for each month are:
Although there is obviously a class purely for puppy images, photos of puppies are of course welcomed in all the other categories.
Judging will be on the appeal of the photo rather than technical merit.
Payment for entries to be by Paypal to [email protected]
{so that I can ensure all entries have been paid for at the close of the competition}, alternatively by cheque or a bankers draft in pounds sterling payable to "Syringomyelia DNA Research" {please e-mail me for the address to send them to}. I will send the total amount to the research fund at the closing date.
Please quote your board name, and your full name and address with your entry. Thank you.
***The closing date for entries is 9pm on Wednesday 29th September***
PLEASE NOW REREAD THE ABOVE, AS ANY IMAGES NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES WILL SADLY HAVE TO BE DISQUALIFIED.
Any queries, please e-mail me at [email protected]
