Photo Requirements (IMPORTANT !!!)
We Want Your Dog to Look Fabulous in Our Calendar! The three primary reasons for disqualification of pictures are:
1. Too low a resolution or out of focus
2. The picture of the dog is too far away.
3. The picture is too busy with other distracting items.
- ONLY Digital images are accepted now. NO photos.
- It's CRITICAL that photos be taken with the highest size and/or resolution setting available on your camera otherwise it's not possible to enlarge them and still keep them looking good. You'll need at least a 6 Megapixel camera to get enough resolution for the larger picture.
- Entries for the 13 larger entries (Cover and Monthly) should be horizontally formatted (landscape).
- All submissions should be in focus, not exceptionally dark and with backgrounds that not overly busy.
- When you submit digital images, do NOT make any modifications to the original picture. We'll make any modifications if they're selected.
- This IS a Rescued Pit Bull Calendar, so submitted images should have a rescued Pit Bull in the photo. It's okay to have other critters in the photo with the Pit Bull, just be sure they don't have two legs, we want the focus of the photo on the dogs. (For the purposes of this contest, we define a "Rescue" as a dog that was rescued from a Shelter, Rescue Organization, through Shelter and Rescue contact lists, or off the streets (stray).Dogs purchased (or obtained) from breeders, pet shops or individuals typically do not qualify unless they have gone through the "Rescue experience". Contact us for a ruling if you believe you have such an exception.
- Digital images are NOT returnable and become the sole property of Pit Bull Rescue Central which reserves the right, without further consideration, to use any photographs submitted for inclusion in the 2017 Calendar or in any other calendars, publications, media or related promotions.
- If a winning photo needs to be edited, IE: choke collars (only regular collars on dogs) we reserve the right to edit a winning photo if it has anything other than a regular collar. If the winning photo can't be edited it will be eliminated.
- If image resolution is to low you will be asked to supply another photo. If a high resolution image is unavailable, the next top scoring photo may be selected to take its place in the calendar.
- All submitted photos are subject to review by PBRC.
- Inappropriate or offensive photos will be removed
- All submitted photos become the property of PBRC. By entering the contest, entrants grant PBRC permission to utilize their name, photo and story on its website, newsletters, blog and other publications used by the organization to further its mission.]
