I do have a little editing to do before the calendar is ready for purchase; should be available some time next week. I will post a link once it is available for purchase.
Did you guys know this is the 11th edition of the Z31 Calendar? Various community members have produced the calendar over the years with thousands of participants submitting photos. The quality of some of the photos produced for this calendar never ceases to amaze. Keep up the great work!

jaqattack02: (2013-10-10 22:56:16)
Same here.
jaqattack02: (2013-10-11 01:32:34)
Now if we can get everyone to stop posting every pic they've taken of their car to facebook with the comment "calendar pic?"
jaqattack02: (2013-10-21 14:07:13)
On this years calendar, can they be produced with more than one hole punched for hanging? Last years kept having the corners flop in toward the middle when it was hung by the single center hole after you got a few months in.

Jason84NA2T: (2013-10-31 19:50:12)
Hey man! It has been a long time; good to see you're still coming here. Hope to see a calendar pic from you next year.

There are few pictures that i really like. Not bad at all for the rest.
NissanEgg: (2013-11-09 20:52:12)
Voted. Great pics!
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-11-10 00:19:01)
12? I thought 13 .. Cover shot .. Then the 12 months? A nice selection/mix of photographs and digital images.
frostvectron: (2013-11-10 03:52:06)
Ooops I didn't submit anything.,.. I suck!
amreboot: (2013-11-10 05:00:47)
Awesome!!
When is voting over? When do you post the results?
mdarter86: (2013-11-10 16:28:12)
Voted! Awesome pictures and good luck to everybody!
707Redz31: (2013-11-12 01:33:16)
When do we find out the results?
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-11-12 04:24:44)
As I recall? Voting was supposed to be over a 2 week period. Voting just started (9th) .... Per Jason (on FB) .. Only 44 votes have been cast?
NismoZ31: (2013-11-12 18:13:10)
Voted! I found about 9 instant hits on my first look through. great job everyone
Z_Karma: (2013-11-12 18:34:51)
Mighty slim pickins this year…mighty slim.
But i suppose i can't really complain since none of mine are photo ready.
NismoVega: (2013-11-12 18:59:28)
Voted!! Some very nice shots. Good luck everyone.
86_GaZbo: (2013-11-12 21:17:09)
I agree, I had a hard time coming up with 12…but none of my Z's were road worthy or picture worthy this year so I can't complain. Submitted.
84Zed31: (2013-11-12 21:55:55)
Yeah it was difficult to choose since I only liked about 6 of them.
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-11-13 00:54:21)
Not difficult at all.
707Redz31: (2013-11-13 00:56:12)
Yea I had a hard time choosing beyond the few I liked. What's up with people not putting any effort into the background? Garage pics are not my cup of tea I guess. I liked a lot of the subject cars but that doesn't mean the picture was great.

Sorry, bumped the wrong thread. Back on up!
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-11-14 14:29:08)
I agree to a certain extent. In my opinion (I know .. not much) the photographs are reflective of the photographer's "eye". Every year - there are submissions that vary in terms of the "photography eye". To me, it's what makes the calendar unique - or at least it did .. up until a few years ago. I prefer the raw - i.e. "un-trained eye" photographs over the "over-post-processed" (like other calendars) of "fake cars/images". Note: I indicated "over-post-processed" …
707Redz31: (2013-11-14 14:42:22)
I understand the not over processed look, but the way I look at it is we are mixing these cars with art. There isn't much artistic about not putting any effort into where your picture is taken. You can get super crazy artistically with Photoshop and such. But I agree that the better the picture the less editing is needed. My submission I upped the saturation to a very small degree in a basic editor to make the colors pop and that was it. Artistic change that didn't change the subject matter at all, just the quality of the highlights in the picture.
84Zed31: (2013-11-23 07:51:24)
Cease voting! And drumroll!…
707Redz31: (2013-11-24 20:29:29)
Like fo' real, where them results at?
Jason84NA2T: (2013-11-26 02:18:07)
Stuff takes time, like fo' real
quicksilverz31: (2013-11-26 02:21:29)
So anxious to see results…
707Redz31: (2013-11-26 05:39:58)
Am i missing something? I only see 11 winners…
88Turbozx: (2013-11-26 07:18:53)
I only see 11 winners as well. Isn't there supposed to be 13? Weird.
reddzx: (2013-11-26 15:18:20)
Here we go
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-11-26 15:55:07)
I counted 12??
Per Jason and the voting .. it was for 12 …
I understand the confusion .. traditionally, it was 13 .. 1-cover and then the remaining 12 for 12 months. The change was not explained, it really doesn't have to be, eh?
The question? Now that all the "fun" is done. How many calendars will be ordered/sold? 12 at least?
amreboot: (2013-11-26 15:58:21)
Its 11 winners. It looks like Jason accidentally showed photo #16 twice.
quicksilverz31: (2013-11-26 16:22:21)
Glad I'm not the only one who caught that only 11 winners were listed, one got listed twice.
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-11-26 20:46:20)
Maybe it wasn't a mistake? Ever think of that? Jason doesn't make those kind of mistakes .. knowingly ..
amreboot .. I thought your submission was worthy
amreboot: (2013-11-26 21:03:14)
Yeah, sad face!!!
haha, no worries! Congrats on those who won!
andyray187: (2013-12-06 18:44:01)
so glad I made and it and my other choices are there too! great cars this year guys
liladair: (2013-12-07 07:17:08)
Go andy! At least somebody local can represent fro okc. Hopefully i can get mine photo worthy before next year!
lookingoodzxt: (2013-12-12 05:04:59)
I hope to make it on next year too..
Kimbro Slice: (2013-12-14 04:40:07)
So what's the status on the actual calendar then?
88Turbozx: (2013-12-15 02:57:19)
+1 ^
Neil86t: (2013-12-15 04:12:37)
I still need to buy lasts years lol
designate72: (2013-12-16 16:43:26)
I just noticed that there is only one zenki, and one Chuki. What does this say about the zenki/kouki debate then? It seems clear that most prefer Kouki.
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-12-16 20:24:26)
LOL .. I can think of at least 3-6 doz Zenki's that no longer enter ..
FlyingT: (2013-12-20 00:35:37)
The calendar has become a popularity contest, nothing to do with the best looking cars or real pictures. Since my 2MP Fuji camera takes such great pictures, I have no reason other that the 3MP+ calendar requirement to get anything better. So until it dies, I won't be entering anymore calendars even though I can still take calendar quality pictures. It has produced 3 calendar winners in the past. Stupid rule.
Parker: (2013-12-20 01:16:33)
I voted on the pictures I thought actually belonged in a calendar; I didn't even know whose cars they were for the most part. I think I voted for maybe 6 in total. For what it's worth, FlyingT, I did vote for yours (#11, right?)
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-12-20 12:38:39)
Update .. per Jason (on FB) .. calendar for order will be available soon. He mentioned about waiting for "some image editing" to be done.
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-12-23 22:58:50)
It would appear that these won't be available for Christmas. Maybe before Jan 1st?
Jason84NA2T: (2013-12-27 01:56:56)
After some delay, the calendar is now available.
The cover is an overlay of various images, many of them submissions that either did not meet the resolution requirements or did not win a spot. I think this gives some recognition to the people who took the time to submit and make this a contest worth having. Thanks for making a fantastic Z31 Calendar yet again guys!

For some reason the image servers that cafepress is using don't want to work; Ill contact them to see about fixing it.
inqui-Z-tor: (2013-12-27 14:56:22)
Looks good Jason. We'll done. BTW .. I was able to view the images.
