It’s that time of year when we showcase the best of our Portland Hikers trip report photos in the annual TKO/Portland Hikers calendar. It’s free to enter, and photos will be used one time, exclusively for the calendar. This is our main fundraiser each year and helps keep the Portland Hikers forum and Portland Hikers Field Guide up and running and helps buy trail building tools for our TKO outings. We're 100% volunteer-run, so all profits go directly to supporting the forum and our trail stewardship efforts. It’s a great way to lend your support!
We’ll have a preview of the final calendar and info on how to order them as we get closer to Thanksgiving.
Here’s how to enter your photos for the calendar
1. You can submit up to 7 photos.
2. File names need to incorporate your name and the location of the photo, e.g., “John_Doe_Elk_Cove.jpg” This helps ensure correct photo credits. You can use your real name or screen name -- either works -- but use it first in the title (as shown in the example) to help us sort through the images.
3. Photos need to be original resolution of at least 300 dpi -- remember this is a professional-quality calendar!
4. No watermarks, please! (if you don’t know what that is, then you’re already fine)
5. Photos up to 15 MB in size should be e-mailed individually using our dedicated e-mail account for the 2015 calendar:
portlandhikerscalendar @ gmail.com
(note that we’ve added spaces before and after the “@” to prevent spammers from finding this -- you’ll delete the spaces when you use this address
THE DEADLINE FOR ENTERING PHOTOS IS
If you have any questions, just post them in this thread. If you want to share the images you're submitting, go ahead and post them here, too - I know everyone enjoys getting a preview! Thanks, everyone - let's see those great photos from your 2014 adventures!
