It's that time of year again, time to update the Shiba Forum Calendar for 2016!!! Let's make this a fun one with lots of image submissions. Proceeds from calendar sales will go towards the costs of running the forum, it isn't cheap maintaining this amazing gathering place so every little bit helps. 13 photos (12 months plus cover) will be used on the calendar.

We have decided to do something special this year: One month will be a Rainbow Bridge Tribute to any Shibas that have crossed over and wait for us on the other side. Multiple Rainbow Bridge Shibas will be on that particular month, so it will not be just one Rainbow Bridge Shiba chosen. :)


The rules for submissions are as follows:

- Members must be active on the forum, having at least 50 posts/comments, in order to submit photos. No cheating on this one, the posts will be checked.

- A member can submit up to 3 photos of their shiba(s)

- Submitted photos should be taken by the submitting member or member has been given permission by the photographer to have the photos used in the forum calendar should their photo be selected.

- A member can use a low res image in their submission for ease of web speed, but they must have available the original or a large resolution version, this is to allow for the best quality of the printed calendar.

-This year we are also allowing for artwork submissions as well as photographic. Any medium is allowed, so don't be afraid to get creative.

-If submitting a Rainbow Bridge photo to the Tribute page, please ensure that you type "Rainbow Bridge month" directly below that picture submission.

- All photo submissions must be posted on this thread by the end of September 30th, the thread will be closed after that to prevent late submissions. Voting will begin October 2nd and end on the 20th. I'm hoping to make the calendars available for purchase on cafepress by early November.



If anyone has any questions, feel free to message me or any of the Mods/Admins for answers. Remember, it's all about having fun so go out there and capture some great moments with your pups. I can't wait to see what awesome photos get submitted!

Thanks,
