THAIVISA 2019 CALENDAR and NOVEMBER 2018 PHOTO COMPETITION

 

Continuing the great work in previous years, it's that time of the year for starting the design of the 2019 / 2562 Thaivisa Calendar.

Previous calendars, 2010 - 2018 were a great success due to the excellent photo contributions from the Thaivisa Members.

All members are welcome to submit their images for them to be considered for inclusion in the 2019 Thaivisa Calendar.

Submissions close at 5 pm on Friday November 30th 2018.

Please read the instructions below this image for requirements regarding sizing etc.

These are very important for the calendar quality as it will be printable

NOTE - This topic will also incorporate the November competition with the winning entry awarded the ฿1000 Phone Voucher.

 

Requirements:

• Photo must have been taken within Thailand and must have been taken by the member posting the photo.
• Landscape mode (wide). Portrait mode (tall) is possible if it can be cropped properly to fit the calendar's format. Also, portrait mode if you think it will make a suitable cover page. No panoramas please.
• Minimum 1200 pixels wide, preferably 2048 as the calendar will be printable and need the resolutions to be high for good print quality. Link to higher resolution image if possible.
• Important Note: Due to attached files auto-sized to only 800 wide, please supply a link to the image on a photo-sharing site such as Flickr.com or cloud storage such as Dropbox, not limited to just these two though.
• Please use your best photos that you feel would fit and be appropriate for a published calendar.
• By posting your images here you give Thaivisa permission to use them in the Calendar. Credit will be given through watermarks on the photos unless a member specifically wishes it not to be.
•  Please do not use personal watermark on your images

 

 

Additional:

• If possible but not a requirement, please post the location and possible information about the photo. Many members were interested in that information and were asking about it.
• Please, only 1 photo per post as it makes it very difficult to manage during the decision process. Try and limit to no more than 2-3 contributions.

This topic will be open until Friday November 30 2018 and the photos presented to the mod/Admin team for initial cuts in selecting the photos. If there are insufficient photos that are considered suitable for the calendar, either previous contributions will be recycled or free use photos from the Internet will be used.

 

Looking forward to seeing this year's' contributions.

 

Note: - If you see a photo(s) that you really like please use the Like button for the poster. It will help with the decision process.
