Well it's not really for me to say, but I have compiled every one pretty much since we started. There's been some stunning pictures on the forum this year that really deserve to be included if we do. I am biased this year and any shot of a Cruiser anywhere in Russia is likely to be included. In fact we could just make it a Russia only calendar. Ok let's not do that.
The idea of the calendar is to capture the spirit of the Cruiser and their owners using the vehicle out there in the world. Yes that might include doing the school run, but trust me if you submit a picture of yours full of shopping outside Tesco, it simply isn't going to be included. People ask why we have the fairly strict criteria? Well it's really about making it easier to judge. We get a lot of really good pics as you can all see from the past calendars and often there's too many good ones making a choice hard. So, as always, it's one vehicle in shot. No people milling around making tea, some sort of background, setting etc. No arty shots of simply a headlight. Doors closed. No wheelie bins ... We want 40's 80's 120's 50's well actually no, not 50's. 60's 90's etc etc
Look you get the idea. But if you don't then don't be surprised again if you don't make the cut. This is the sort of shot that's going to get you in...I'm thinking September ...Actually I might just put that one on all 12 months. I'd buy it!
So no need to put your pics up yet. I'll start a thread called 2019 calendar submissions as long as there's sufficient interest for a print run. I'm trying to be a bit earlier this year as I know we've run out in the past.
