We will be producing another S2KUK Calendar this year, so now it is time to start getting your pictures or cameras out, and to submit your photo entries!  Please see below for rules and instructions.

RULES AND REGULATIONS

We all want to see great shots of the S2000, so we have high standards for submissions.

• Photos need to meet a minimum resolution for print purposes. That minimum is "high resolution" - at least 150 dpi, in tif, png, jpg formats. As a guide, photos should generally be 3-4 MB or more
• You CAN obscure license plates if you wish
• Photos need to be cropped "loose" this is to avoid having some great submissions that we can’t use because the image was already cropped too tight to the S2000.
• Try and leave some space around the S2000 so the image can be cropped to fit the calendar. 
• No watermarks allowed.
• NO NUDITY - images must be work and family safe.
• If there is enough demand for hot ladies (or men!) posing we may do a short run of an alternative calendar.
• ONE ENTRY ONLY per person (so choose wisely) You may if you wish supercede your entry as many times as you want

TIPS

• Photos can't just be "driveway" shots, no hose and bucket in the background. You need to be creative, artistic, and unique! At least find a scenic spot to take the pic!
• Lots of people take the ubiquitous 1/4 front or 1/4 rear view, and we can only have so many similar poses in a calendar, so taking the time to do something different and interesting will count toward the submissions
• The calendar is not for profit, and stresses the love we have for our cars. 

How to make a submission

• When you have a photo to submit, rename it with the following format:  "Real_Name.jpg"
• Email them to: calendar@s2kuk.com
• Photos have to be emailed for entry. This is your tacit consent that they can be used in the calendar, and on the S2KUK website.
• Submissions not following the criteria above will be rejected without notice so follow the instructions! 

 Submission deadline will be October 7th 2013 at 23:59

Submissions will then be put on the S2KUK website for voting.

Remember, submissions need to be EMAILED.  

If they are not emailed, they are not entered.

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COPYRIGHT

By entering this calendar competition you are giving licence to S2KUK (UK S2000 Owners Club) to use your image for publication in the calendar and on the S2KUK website.  

IF YOU DO NOT OWN COPYRIGHT of the image - that is if YOU did not take the photograph it will not qualify for the competition. 

DO NOT ENTER WITH A PHOTO YOU DID NOT TAKE, as it can have serious consequences if it is published. 

By entering a photo to the competition you are agreeing to indemnify UK S2000 Owners Club against any action regarding copyright should you have entered a photo of which you do not own copyright.

We are making final preparations for Megameet 9 in the North York Moors.  With around 40 cars in attendance it promises to be a great meet.  As ever we will be doing our bit to raise money for our chosen charities of the year, Help For Heroes and Cancer Research UK.

Last year we raised £3,239.00 for RNLI and we hope to do just as well this year.  So....

WE NEED YOUR HELP!

• Have you got something you could donate as a raffle or auction prize?
• Could you scrounge something from a local dealer, or similar?
• Are you a business who'd like to benefit not only the charity, but yourselves by getting free PR/Advertising?

Then please let us know by emailing charity@s2kuk.com.

Anything, no matter how big or small, will help us towards the fund raising.

Also if you can volunteer to help contact our list of traders/sponsors etc. please get in touch - many hands make light work!

Thank you in advance for any help!
