It's that time of the year again!

OffroadTB.com will be putting out a 2014 calendar, and we need your pictures to fill it.

Each person that wishes to enter can submit up to 2 photos of your vehicle and post them in this thread. If you post a re-sized photo here, please ensure that you have a high resolution copy available if we request it. (or you can just post up a high res version now and use the [ImgSize=][/ImgSize] tag to reduce it - this is preferred, so I don't have to email you later for the full version!)

Picture guidelines:
-Taken off-road (your truck on pavement will immediately be rejected)
-Of your vehicle (if someone else has an image of your truck, contact them and get the full resolution version)
-In perfect focus (no blurry shots!)
-Good photo composition (pretty backgrounds are desireable)
-No people in the photo (unless they are inside and obscured from view)
-No DATE or TIME Stamps
-Please try not to cut off any part of your vehicle, unless it has some sort of artistic merit.
-High resolution MUST BE available (2000px or more wide)
-Pictures do not have to be from 2013, but we will re-print something from a prior year

Ideal EXAMPLE from 2012:


We (me/the mod/admin team) will then pick the best photos by weighing the following:
-photo quality (if it's a cell-phone shot, it needs to be clear)
-artistic merit of the photo
-'off roadness' of the setting
-quality/beauty of the background
-vehicle modifications (the more the better) - but don't let that discourage you from submitting - we have had stock TBs many times in the past calendars

This is a first-come first-serve sorta thing, so once we have 12 pictures that we like, we will begin the calendar creation. So don't wait to submit pictures; submit them now! You can always come back and update your submission with two new ones... but please only have two photos posted here at a time.

Please note that by posting your photo, you are giving us full rights to use your photo in any way we see fit... and please don't hold it against us if we don't choose your photos. I can be very picky.

I think that about covers it... I'm looking forward to seeing your submissions!

James, these are your pictures. I think these two are good calendar material. Bending the rules slightly, but oh well.

I can email full resolution photos if needed.

As requested by one of the senior admins here, I have one more addition to add.

I wish I could have posted more. If you guys find a pic of my truck you like better than the ones posted... I'd probably be open to using it. When might these go on sale?
