So are you doing CafePress for the calendar project? I've handled the HAMB calendar project for the last 6 years. We print 500-1000, 2 color, 16 pages each year. Let me know if you need any help.
I'm not going to. (Too much to do already!) IF we get there / folks think it's a good idea, seems to me that would be the route to go. And yes, help would be needed, PLEASE! Can you adopt the idea for us, and consider what we need to make it happen?

Is there going to be a reenactor photo category?
It would be cool, but see below.

Having noticed an increase in concerns over copyright usage issues lately, may be a good idea to include in the fine print the person submitting the images maintains photo/copyrights except for the use expressed above.
Yes, when we get to a final draft of the idea, rules etc, that's an important point. Conversely, entries will have to allow for use by WIX to some degree, for the competition.

Good man, thank you!
Those all champing at the bit to submit -
there's a long way to go before we can start the competition. Better than asking when we are off and running, lend a hand to get MORE PRIZES and feedback on the structure of the competition.
What's a WARBIRD?
I have been asked via PM "Do I understand correctly that we can submit current warbirds? Or are we allowed to submit only WW2 warbird taken today?"
Answer: NO CURRENT MILITARY, OR SERVING MILITARY aircraft included. Not MILITARY AIRCRAFT IN SERVICE YESTERDAY either. For the purposes of the competition, 'Warbird' is defined as an ex-military aircraft, or civil aircraft with previous military history. You know, like you'll see in Warbird Digest (or Warbirds Worldwide).
I reckon we should also include any vintage types.
(We regularly get discussions if a modern military type is a 'warbird', and you may define it as you wish, there's NO official definition. However, as the competition was my idea, and I hope we do want to see great pics of old ex-military aircraft, rather than another competition for modern mil,
warbird is the old stuff, for this comp. OK?)
Categories.
My proposal is we have ONE category you can enter up to FIVE pictures in. As well as first, second, third, etc. prizes, I'm proposing that there are special prizes for specific types of pics,
within the overall comp - most creative, best dressed maintainer, thinnest re-enactor etc. That way there's no difficulty in entering the right class, we get a 'best of the best' and everyone gets a chance (best static, best air to air). We
can award firsts without prizes, but I know which we prefer, so WE NEED PRIZES!
The other question is judging the main category - we could have a small panel of judges, or we could make it 'people's choice' with a vote for each WIX member. If we had the panel we could still have a seperate people's choice too - again prizes is the sticking point. Thoughts?
Making in worthwhile.
Thinking about it last night, I also reckon we need to make it worthwhile to WIX, so I'm proposing an entry 'fee'. This 'fee' is either a donation to WIX or your preferred aviation museum or organisation. (Which benefits the greater warbird organisation). That 'fee' to your museum could be cash, or donation or donation of effort, it's up to you. Only thing is it has to be something you weren't going to do anyway. Obviously we could set up some complex auditing system, but I'm also going to propose we just do it on an honesty system - After all you wouldn't lie to us, would you? What we will ask is that you tell us, publicly, what you've done / donated. That way everyone gets a warm feeling, and there's something in it for Scott.
Whad'ya think?
So, in short, if you like the idea, get us a sponsors for PRIZES...
(Did I mention we need more Prizes?)
Off to discuss this with Scott. If I don't come back, he din't like it.
Cheers,

This isn't the competition, just discussing the idea of a competition.
