Hello TAGF Member,
It's that time of year again where we get our cameras out and take pictures of our favorite projects for the Third Annual Calendar Contest. Our first year was a success with many, many submissions... however with me being a little late getting started last year we didn't have as many but were still able to come up with a great looking Calendar.
As in the past, I will be the sole judge so that all can enter. I will try to choose pictures that are relevant to the particular month... December/Christmas, May/Mother's Day, August/Summertime Fun, I think you get the idea.
Here are some samples of past TAGF Caledar pages...
April 2010 - Submitted by Meaco
May 2009 - Submitted by Tillie
This year I will be doing things a little differently, each month will display a full page photograph of a the Artist's Project as well as smaller images of other Entries. Descriptions include interesting information about the artist, glass used and crafting techniques. The final 12 chosen images (along with the smaller images) will be based on creativity (bribes work) and maybe the quality of the picture... also I will try to fit all of the submissions in the cover.
I know some of you (me included) are artistically challenged so if you decide to use another artist's pattern you MUST get permission in writing from them to use their artwork for your project. You will need to submit this permission to me via email:
If we get all submissions in by October 15th, we can ship by December 1st or earlier. This high quality over-sized wall calendar has the following:
Each page measures 17" x 11"
Measures 17" x 22" when hung on wall
100 lb cover weight high gloss paper, wire-o bound
January 2011 - December 2011
The cost of this calendar will be $24.95 which includes shipping to all US Customers, our neighbors from the North (Canada) will pay $3.00 extra. The profit made (very little) is used to support the cost of running our forum. So support TAGF and enjoy your friends Artwork all year round!
All Submissions must include:
Your name (screen name is ok)
Date project was completed (doesn't have to be current)
Origin of design
Credit to the original artist if made from a pattern or book
And maybe a brief description... size, type of glass used... etc.
We have room for 12 main images... so get those pixs here.
Then please send me via email, a full size image (as big as your camera will take it). For those who don't have digital cameras you may go to your local Target and have them scan you photo so that you can email me a digital entry. Don't worry about cropping or adjusting the image... I'm pretty good with Photoshop.... but try to give me a nice image to work with. If you have any questions on how to take a good picture, ask them on our site TheArtGlassFactory.com or in email and I will help you out.
Deadline to enter is Oct 15, 2010... don't be shy, show us what ya got! - Guy
