It's that time of the year again!

OffroadTB.com will be putting out a 2013 calendar, and we need your pictures to fill it.

Each person that wishes to enter can submit up to 2 photos of your vehicle and post them in this thread. If you post a re-sized photo here, please ensure that you have a high resolution copy available if we request it. (or you can just post up a high res version now and use the [ImgSize=][/ImgSize] tag to reduce it - this is preferred!)

Picture guidelines:
-Taken off-road
-Of your vehicle
-In perfect focus
-Good photo composition
-No people in the photo (unless they are inside and obscured from view)
-No DATE or TIME Stamps
-Please try not to cut off any part of your vehicle, unless it has some sort of artistic merit.
-High resolution MUST BE available (2000px or more wide)
-Pictures do not have to be from 2011

Ideal EXAMPLE from 2012:


We (me/the mod/admin team) will then pick the best photos by weighing the following:
-photo quality (no cell phone pics will even be considered! - ok, iphone 4s maybe)
-artistic merit of the photo
-'off roadness' of the setting
-quality/beauty of the background
-vehicle modifications (the more the better) - but don't let that discourage you from submitting - we have had stock TBs many times in the past calendars

This is a first-come first-serve sorta thing, so once we have 12 pictures that we like, we will begin the calendar creation. So don't wait to submit pictures; submit them now! You can always come back and update your submission with two new ones... but please only have two photos posted here at a time.

Please note that by posting your photo, you are giving us full rights to use your photo in any way we see fit... and please don't hold it against us if we don't choose your photos. We can be rather picky.

I think that about covers it... I'm looking forward to seeing your submissions!

(FYI - I am in the middle of a move, so there may be times where I'll be inundated with other things)

Nice shots guys! Matt, that last one can't be considered due to the person hanging out in the background.

I'm barley in it. Haha I guess photoshop time. Never used it, I'll probably make the photo worse then it is.

This is my 2003 TB LT. Over the last year it has transformed into this good lookin' machine. This photo is about 5 months old so naturally there have been a few more modifications. I'll be sure to take a current photo at the same location and hopefully the changes will be noticeable and perhaps even worthy of a calendar feature.

Thanks for everything you have taught me about what it takes to be a true TB Offroading enthusiast!!!
