Lateral-g Forums - Goodguys 2011 Yearbook Cover Photo Competition

Goodguys is giving all you photo guys and gals a chance to have your photo chosen for the cover of the Goodguys Yearbook.

This was a HUGE success last year, so let's do it again! Yes, the format is VERTICAL. If you're confused, that means taller, not wider.
That's right! Here's your chance to get your favorite photo on the cover of the 2011 Goodguys Yearbook that will be distributed to every participant at every event throughout the 2011 season. Get your photography noticed!

Basically we're looking for great VERTICALLY-formatted (taller than wide) hot rod, custom and muscle car-related photographs. They can be from a Goodguys event, on the road, in the garage, close-ups, whole cars, etc. They can be photos of your car, a buddy's car or just one you thought was cool.

What do you win? How does $250, a year subscription to the Goodguys Gazette, and ten copies of the 2011 Goodguys Yearbook with your photo on the cover sound? Pretty cool, eh?

Well, what are you waiting for? Dig through your stash of favorite photos or get out there and shoot something. To submit, just post your low-res (600x800 pixels maximum - .jpeg format) "judging" entries. If your submission is chosen, you'll be required to supply a high-res image (2600x3500 pixels minimum - .jpeg format) to use for print. Post you submissions at www.goodguysforum.com or email them to [email protected].

RULES OF THE 2011 GOODGUYS YEARBOOK COMPETITION

OUTLINE: Goodguys is looking for "high-quality" vertically-formatted submissions that match the "high-end" quality associated with the yearbook.
The subject can be anything hot rod, custom or muscle car-related.
"High-quality" refers to the execution of the photo and not necessarily the subject.

WHO IS ELIGIBLE: The 2011 Goodguys Yearbook competition is open to anyone from any country. Professional and non-professional photographers are encouraged to submit entries.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: All participants must submit their work online or via email. Digital files are required for judging. Digital "judging" submissions must be no longer than 800 pixels on the longest side and saved as Jpegs, in RGB format and not exceed 4MB each file. (Low-res submission - 300x400 pixels optimum - 600 X 800 pixels maximum). A final high-res version of the winning submission will be required and must be supplied no later than 2/11/2011 (High-res submissions 2600x3500 pixels minimum - .jpeg format). Do not send originals prints. Goodguys is not responsible for lost or damaged prints and will not return any physical submissions.
