The Deadline is April 6th for submitting photos to be in the 2013 Celebrating Greyhounds Calendar.

To submit a photo, please include your name and address, your dog’s name, and your adoption group’s name and location ON EACH PHOTO. The information should be printed on tape or a label before applying it to the back of the photo so as to avoid damaging the image. If you got your dogs directly from the racing owner or trainer, from a shelter or any other source, that’s great; they are all just as eligible for the calendar as dogs that are placed by an adoption group.
Prints of any size are acceptable. It is generally better not to try to enlarge a smaller print yourself. The original is usually clearer and easier to work with. And the calendar staff will have greater success at producing the enlargements than you will. Digital photos are welcome, and should be on a CD with individual printouts clearly marked with the photo name/number. Be sure your full name, address, your dog’s name, and your adoption group’s name and location is on EACH printout as well as the CD.
If you have photos that were taken by someone else, please obtain their written permission for us to use the photos. An email from the photographer is acceptable for this purpose. If the photo was taken at a nursing home, school or therapy program of some sort, please obtain permission from the school and program and include a copy with your submission.
Photo selection is typically done by a group of volunteers in mid-April for the following year. We receive hundreds of photos, so please limit submissions to your very best shots.
Please, please, please, label everything. There is nothing more frustrating than sorting through all the photos that we want to use only to find that one of them is anonymous. It’s usually one of the really great pictures that we want.
All submissions should be sent to:
The Greyhound Project, Inc. Attn: Calendar photos P.O. Box 5239 Framingham, MA 01701
The photos for the calendar are selected by a group of Greyhound adopters. The members of the group change from year to year, depending on who is around and wants to come play on the weekend that we gather around a big table and go through the photos. The people looking at the photos generally won’t know the people or the dogs in the pictures. They are looking for the images that ‘speak’ to them and fit the applicable theme and design of the calendar.
Photos that are not used in the calendar are passed along to CG Magazine and may appear in a future issue. Sorry, but we are not able to return photos.
