2023 TacomaWorld Calendar **Information & BS**

This thread is for BS and discussion...

Submission of pictures in this thread will be ignored.

Introducing the Fifth Annual TacomaWorld calendar!

Once again, I would like to thank @tcBob and all other moderators for helping us make this possible.

We're giving you a healthy heads up for the 2023 calendar submission/voting process.

Like last year, we will have submittals and voting threads that would allow us to select at least 12 total builds for a 2023 calendar.

Once all 12 vehicles have been selected, the pictures will be watermarked and submitted to @tcBob to create into a calendar we can all enjoy for the 2023 calendar year.

Anyone that would want a calendar would have to purchase them thru @tcBob a link will be provided.

Make sense?

We're giving plenty of time this year and definitely trying to get calendars out before 2023 and avoid holiday slow downs!

ANNOUNCEMENT: 9/8/2022
GET READY!
GO TAKE SOME PICTURES!

SUBMISSIONS:
9/30/2022 thru 10/15/2022

VOTING:
10/15/2022 thru 10/29/2022

Winner Hi-Res (1600x1200)+ Submissions: 10/30/2022 thru 11/5/2022

********************************************************************

Same rules as last year apply:

The calendar will be limited to active members on TacomaWorld or members that have taken the time to create a build thread.

It will be composed of:

Three first generation builds
Three second generation builds
Three third generation builds
Three other non Tacoma builds*

*Non Tacoma builds must be - Toyota/Lexus and from an active member on TW (4runner, Toyota Truck, Tundra, FJ Cruiser, GX etc) - build thread on TW is not a requirement but at least be an active member!

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Each participant is able to post up to two pictures of their build. If a participant has more than one build, he can submit two pictures of each build currently owned.

Submission and voting process will be as follows:

A total of four submission threads will be created for candidates to post their pictures.
These threads will be open for two weeks.

After the two weeks, all these four threads will be locked for voting - for another two weeks.

Rules of engagement:

1. One picture per post, per participant. If you have two pictures or more than one build, post ONE picture per post. This will make voting easier. No adding a second "just in case" picture.

2. Please, NO BS, chit chat, critiques, etc in submission threads. Use THIS thread for BS, recommendations, chit chat, etc. Do NOT submit pictures in this thread.

3. Refrain from hitting "Like" until submission of all photos have been completed and thread locks. Any "Likes" before the thread is locked will be WIPED CLEAN to allow a fair level of participation for all submissions.

4. You are allowed to do some editing, but don't go crazy.

5. Keep it safe for work. We don't want to see your hot wife in a bikini washing the truck.

6. You will need a high resolution version of your photo for calendar production. If you can't submit a good enough photo, a runner up will take your place. Sorry, we can't have any delays.

7. Please do not post any descriptions during submissions. Just post a picture, simple as that.

8. Everyone has two weeks to submit a picture and/or vote. Once this process is over, it is over. Too late. No cigar.

9. Tie breakers will be done by moderators - It may or may not be done anonymously

10. Picture with the MOST likes out of ALL submissions will be featured on the cover page of the calendar (IF the print shop is able to do a cover page)

11. Any active member on TacomaWorld can participate, members submitting non-Tacoma builds must be active on TW.

12. Moderators have all the right to delete submissions and/or modify these rules.

13. If one winner has two pictures of the same build in the top three, winner will pick which one will be featured in the calendar. 4th runner up will be allowed to take the 3rd spot. - To be fair to all participants.

14. 2021 and 2022 winning builds are ineligible to participate. If you won last year, but have a DIFFERENT build, you may submit your photo.

15. PHOTOGRAPHERS - If you are a photographer and would like to submit a photo, you must have consent from the individual. There has been cases where the owner of the truck did NOT want his truck featured in a calendar, regardless if the photographer took and OWNED that picture. Please respect their truck, their privacy, their build. The above rules still apply - max two photos per build, must be active member of TW, etc.

16. Discreet watermarks will be allowed, watermarks may be removed due to any required cropping upon final creation of calendar. Please keep this in mind.

17. Let's have fun!

********************************************************************************************************************************************************

Remember, this thread is for BS, chit chat, etc.

Do NOT post submissions here.

Thank you.

**Think out of the box guys. Picture can include your trailer build, your truck under construction, your truck stuck in mud or flipped over in a ditch, your camping setup.

As long as your build is shown in its entirety - foreground or background, it qualifies**
