Accepting Photo Submissions for Our 2014 Calendars

[Adina P]

BASIC INFO
As of Sunday, September 1st, Doodle Kisses will be accepting photo submissions for our 2014 Doodle Kisses Labradoodle & Goldendoodle* Calendars.  A lot of people get confused about where to send photos, etc.  So as boring as it is, PLEASE READ EVERY WORD of these instructions.  I won't track down everyone who does it wrong to correct things, so if you get it wrong....

 

We have created a list of photo requirements to help guide you in choosing an appropriate photo(s) of your doodle(s). Please be sure to read these requirements carefully so you choose high quality photos: http://www.doodlekisses.com/page/calendar-photo-requirements -- this will help you avoid wasting time sending photos that will immediately be disqualified.

 

HOW TO SUBMIT PHOTOS
1) Read the guidelines for photos: http://www.doodlekisses.com/page/calendar-photo-requirements

2) You will be emailing photos for submission. Send ONLY ONE photo PER EMAIL--I know this is tedious, but it helps tremendously in sorting photos if you only send ONE photo per email. So if you have 1 photo you send one email. If you have 5 photos, you send 5 separate emails.

3) You may submit up to 5 photos PER doodle that belongs to you. 

4) In your email include the following info:

• TYPE of doodle you have that is in the photo (labradoodle or goldendoodle or whatadoodle*)
• The name(s) of the doodle(s) in the photo.
• The location of the photo.
• What your DK Profile name is--so I can tell who you are on DK since most people don't use their full names on DK
• IF ANY of your photos are professionally taken you must confirm that you have rights to use said photo(s) in a calendar that will be sold. Also if the photographer wants a copyright notice with the photo then please let me know that information.
• IF YOU would like credit for your photo, let me know who to credit.

5) Send photos by email to: [e-mail]

Deadline for Submissions: September 22nd, 2013---please bookmark this discussion or click "Follow" at the bottom of the thread to say up-to-date on any changes which DK Admin reserve the right to make at any time. It will be your responsibility to keep informed on this by reading through the responses to this discussion because these may contain clarification and additional tips. Selection of final calendar photos will be done by DK Admin and is subject to their best judgment

 

* Because Doodle Kisses was created for labradoodle and goldendoodle owners, our two main calendars will only feature labradoodles and goldendoodles. However, our multi-doodle calendar may accept photos of other common doodles. While we love all dogs, we have to stay true to our site's focus and will not include any dog that may have poodle in its mix.  If you have a rescue doodle and are not sure what precise type it is...just take your best guess when listing the type of doodle your dog is.

 

**As always 25% of all Doodle Kisses profits will go to doodle and dog rescue organizations -- this includes profits from calendar sales.

I had this problem last year and can't remember how to fix it...

My pics meet  the pixel criteria but when I send it via AOL, they are too small... HELP!

[Donna K & Quincy]

Sign up for a gmail account and send them that way, hopefully that should solve that problem. I don't know anything about AOL but maybe they compress attachments.

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

I think that's what I did last year..thanks for reminding me LOL

Try gmail. It sends the files fine and it's a great mail server!

[Elizabeth, Bailey & Bruin]

Done, thx

[LG & Sadie]

Thanks Adina, I see it now. :) LG

[Cathy Gertner]

Could someone tell me how to see the resolution, pixels and size of the photos that I have to send in? Also do I send the photos I would like to have reviewed by the Photography group to this page?
thanks,
Cathy

Look at the photos' properties...on a pc you can right click on the photo and then select properties.
