Yes! Its nearly that time again to start your forum calendar for next year.
Just wanted to advise member's of the things you need to consider before submitting your pictures for conisderation.
Your pictures must ideally be:
1. Landscape 2. Not rezised (so in orignal size when taken) 3. Of good quality (not fuzzy or blurry) unless you have a budgie in the background and a clear budgie in the foreground 4. Multiple budgies are welcome, including aviaries (but they still must be clear shots) 5. Only 1 photo per member will be chosen (unless not enough members contribute to the 12 months) and it will be put to a vote 6. You can enter up to 3 pictures but only 1 will be chosen (name(s) with each picture please) 7. Old or new photos welcome and past budgies are also accepted 8. Sorry but only long standing members can contributeClosing date for entries is approximately MIDDLE OF OCTOBER 2020 (this is to allow for overseas postage)Will be getting a slim calendar this year (at the request of members)
Usually the price of the calendar is approximatly (including postage) in the region of £10.00GBP, costs to other countries may be higher for postage. (If you PM me I can get a quote.)
So have fun! There is plenty of time, and look forward to getting your lovely pictures!
Thanks
Sam

When you say "longstanding" members, can you clarify that please samwiseg?

Ok, would say that as long as members have been actively contributing to the forum for at least 6 months can take part. I must add that this is a non profit calendar and is purely for our members and their friends/families. If you are a relatively new member and not able to take part for the 2021 calendar you can by all means still purchase next years one. And if you still want to this time next year, take part for 2022! Got that?!

How's this one of Blithe for my entry? I'm okay with you not choosing one of my photos if other's come up with better ones btw.

Hezz Possibly. I moved it to my laptop, so I think the quality's gone down a touch, but I can fish it out to let you see it.

samwiseg I'll submit these, then, and if there's enough room for Indie and Yuki then you or the vote can determine which photo gets used.

Totally agree with you Hezz Problem with the first picture is I may have to lose quite a bit to get it to landscape which sadly compromises the picture. However! Never say die, will give it a go and see what happens
