So anyone who was in last year's calender can't enter this year? Not even with a different pic or something? That kinda sucks because a lot of those cars from last year were badass and they are owned by guys who consistently take beautiful photos.

I know that the proceeds are very very small because the place that makes the calenders charges a ton but is a percentage of the proceeds going to the Wounded Warrior Project again this year?

Thanks.

We want to give as many people as possible a chance to be in the calender. We don't want to see the same cars in it year after year. This has been a rule that has been in place since we started it 2 years ago.

As far as I know the funds will be going to the same place they went to last year, however I'm not entirely certain, as I don't have any control over our Cafepress account. One of our site admins would have to confirm that.

Only problem is that I have no idea what the correct dimensions are, all we really do is hand over the final entries to an admin to throw them into the cafepress site to make the calendar. Maybe we can persuade someone at IB or whoever is gonna throw this together to crop the photos a bit to make them fit.

Can I enter in someone elses car then? lol I just want to show these people how to actually take photos and maybe they can get the hint that you have to actually take your time and get the right shot.

This community is the worst with photos and knowledge on what actually looks good. I could take a pic of my dick and blur it and they would say it was a 10/10
