B Calendar
Locked
Off Topic

I know I use winkflash to print out all my digital prints. You can upload prints & create calendars on their website for only $10-17 each (depending on the size) & then add another $3 for shipping.

I think BCOA is doing a calendar for 2009…pretty sure I read that on their website...the theme is puppy pics and the deadline is end of March.
Pat, seeing as you are a board member...do you know where the proceeds from that will go or could you find out?

Since Nina has volunteered to do some research on what our printing options might be, I think we should take her up on it. :)
I am available to help in any way the admin sees fit :)

you can get 100 in color for $748.99
so thats like $7.50 a piece, if you sell them for 15 + shipping, you'd be donating $750 to the Basenji Health Endowment -

I agree… and yes Cafepress is more expensive, but unless someone can afford to pay up front and carry the inventory and do all the mailing, it is an option. We have run into this many times especially when we did the BCONC fund raiser for the stuff toys (which by the way, Brindles are still available)...
And it was not "fun" worrying about all the shipping... -
So many wonderful pictures, It may prove difficult picking just 12.;)
Some sort of selection process would have to be decided on.
I've used forums that have a voting feature, I don't know how we do it here.
2 Calendars perhaps…...puppies and adults????
Just some thoughts ladies and gents........carry on.:D

Voting would seem to work best. Most people would be happy then.

I would be in support of a calendar where the proceeds are donated to the Basenji Health Endowment. If members of the forum are interested, we can research printing costs and have a photo contest to select which photos will be used.
Me too!!!
Okay…that apparently is too short to be a message!

Great Ideas!
Please private message us with any type of ideas for commercial or non-profit activities associated with Basenji Forums community.
We are currently working on setting up a store where you could purchase Basenji Forums related merchandise including photo calendars and tshirts.
Thank you,
Fun, fun, fun!

You know you could actually put more than 1 photo per month. If someone took a few photos for each month & made it into a college then you could easily include 4-5 even 6 photos on every month vs. just 1. This would be nice since there are so many members & so many beautiful doggies & I'm sure most individuals would want to see their B in the calendar!

The proceeds for that will go to fund the 2008 National Specialty, I think.

Perhaps a theme for each month with 4-6 photos selected to make the collage for the month?
I was thinking the same thing. Like December we could pic 4-6 pictures of basenjis in the snow or in their winter coats. Maybe July we could try to find 4-6 with dogs in the water? Etc etc.

Also it should be limited to one picture per person. It would also sell better the more people here can contribute. All should be welcome. There are a lot of great photos here, it will be tough to choose.
Criteria should be-
I believe you need high resolution pictures for printing so some people's pictures may not work, quality wise. I think it's 300 DPI & up?
Pictures should be in focus to best degree.
Voting on polls for each month is a great idea. People can submit pictures in a thread, those culled into a voting poll thread sticky.
