Default 2015 DF 3rd Gen Dakota Calendar Submissions

I will be accepting photos for the 2015 DF 3rd Gen Dakota Calendar vote until 11/16. If you want to see your truck in the calendar please send me a pic of it to dakotaff2013@gmail.com. I would like to see a MINIMUM of 20 Dakotas enter but the more entries we get the better the calendar is! Even if your truck is bone stock right off the dealers lot, clean it, wax it, take a pic somewhere nice and submit it.
ALL 3rd Gen Dakotas
are welcome!

Requirement # 1
The photos need to be high resolution for them to come out in the calendar. Camera phone pics usually won't cut it (I say usually because some smart phones have 6mp and up cameras). The picture must be at least 1650x1275 pixels. In the Email, attach the photo directly from your PC or laptop, a copy from photobucket (or similar site) will not be sufficient.

And please, I implore you, please send me the file with your user name as the photos file name. NOT the subject of the email or the body of the email, the pictures file name. I do not know everyone's emails so its a pain to try to sort through all the emailed pictures and figure out who is who.

Each member submits one (1) picture, preferably shot within the last year. I really don't want to see any pictures that were in any previous calendars. The one picture submission is necessary because:
  • It will open up the calendar to include more members in the calendar.
  • Submission of two pictures usually will split your votes and you may not have enough to make the cut.
  • It's getting late and we really don't have time to do multiple voting threads.

There will be one picture per month on the calendar, plus one on the cover.
If we don't get 13 submissions by 11/16, each member who submitted a picture by the date will submit an additional picture. We can vote on those 2nd picture submissions to see who will get an additional month in the calendar. Hopefully this doesn't happen, and I would like everyone to submit a picture.
Do not submit pictures in this thread, pictures have to be emailed to me for this to work.

Requirement #2
A calendar pretty much has a square picture, so:

  • Cropped pictures, like Example A, do not work.
  • Widescreen pictures (16:9), like Example B, will have to be cropped. Not an issue as long as your truck fits within the cropping.
  • A square picture (4:3), Example C, is perfect for the calendar.
  • If you want a collage picture as your submission, you'll need to do it and sent it to me as one picture, same size (AND high resolution) as stated above.

Example A

100_1352_zps14d51dfa.jpg

Example B

100_1352_zpsb9fe1f63.jpg

Example C

100_1352_zps3db06c6b.jpg

FYI, this picture is not my submission, it's only used as an example.

If you don't see your name on the list below after a few days, send me a PM or email to assure that I have received your photo.

Also, don't claim a month, we'll figure that out later.

Sent a few pics since I don't remember which one I sent originally. Any of them are great shots of my truck.

Hell yeah, send me a pic, or 2 if you want. We still need 2 pictures (or 3).

First ones that I get are in, any after that and it's too late.
