B Calendar
-
Please PM us your findings and suggestions.
Shortly we will announce Basenji Forums community photo voting contest. Most voted photos will go into the Basenji Forums calendar and screensaver.
Thank you everyone!

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
-
i'd definately buy like 10 and give them out for christmas or something everyone needs a good calendar..

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.

That is true and any extra will go into the BCOA general fund.

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.

I don't think it should be limited to one per person…maybe three or so. But I know there are some folks who have SOME awesome pics, and I would hate to have them limited to just one.

Uh, at this point in the afternoon, I have NO deep thoughts
-
We will create a calendar photo voting poll/thread shortly. Thank you everyone for your suggestions and ideas. Keep them coming.
The proceeds from all sales will help pay for the costs associated with running Basenji Forums and the rest will be devided equally between BRAT and Basenji Health Endowment.
