Can i enter? I just need to get my tort now!

Alas, joined too recently... I will have to wait until next year... In case I'd want to submit an Aldabra tortoise photo then, can it be one I have posted in a small version on some thread here, too? Or does it have to be 'unseen'? Also, just to make sure, as far as I can see, there are no format requirements -but do you prefer landscape over portrait? -and aspect ratio: do you prefer 2:3/3:2 or is 1:1 or 'widescreen' acceptable, too?

 

[Josh]

It's ok to have posted the image elsewhere.
There are no format requirements, a raw or lossless image would be best, a hi-res jpeg will suffice. No preference for aspect ratio - though keep in mind these will be printed on a spiral bound wall calendar

Can I still enter?

Thanks for the info, Josh. What format/size does the calendar have?
Cheers.

What about entering from outside the US?

I'm in the UK but the prize is US based. Would it be worth entering?

Thanks.

 

[Josh]

The calendar measures 8½" x 11" closed, 17" x 11" open.
The prize is only for 1st place and can be transferred to a UK based company, if the winner prefers. Whether or not it's "worth entering" is up to you!
