2006 Club111 calendar - FINAL ROUND OF VOTING - LotusTalk

MattG · 12-03-2005, 09:52 AM

The 2006 Club111 calendar is almost ready! First, over 200 photos were submitted (link). Then, almost 100 EliseTalk users voted in the first round of voting. Now, we need your help one last time with the final round of voting.

Please take a minute to look over the finalists and vote for twelve images there.

I'm sorry for the short notice, but due to the approaching holiday season I must ask that voting be done quickly - votes must be received by the end of the day on Monday, December 5.

On Tuesday, December 6th I'll be contacting the people who submitted the winning photos to ask for a high resolution version, as well as to verify that they have all rights to that photo and agree to its use in the Club111 calendar. My goal is to have the calendar available for sale on Friday, December 9th.

Thanks everyone!

Good idea...I changed it to be a sticky for now.

I thought you had removed your pic from the voting......??

Surferjer · 12-03-2005, 05:57 PM

Nice pictures. I totally forgot to submit mine. Oh, well. Next year!

I removed the picture which had been submitted by someone else and credited to yet another, and was also miscategorized IMO. Only that was my picture. One version even had a third reflection, Colin Chapman, added by another.

If you check the thread, I wanted to straighten things out...this was the day before TG. Among other things I thought it should be in the track section and not the by-color section, but that is not a huge thing. I also wanted to include a link to a larger version as the size of the samples was too small to be able to see the three reflections: cones, Colin, driver. This was an important part of the image and would be seen in a calendar should it have been selected. TG hit + Friday with folks..then the site was down until Monday..too late to get back in the game for the Tuesday deadline as voting had already been in progress. There were a lot of pics to go through, I understand. I'll do something else with it instead.

Just a reminder, you've got one day left to vote for your favorite images for the 2006 Club111 calendar!

Have the winners been chosen?
if so, which ones were picked?

Yes, it's going to be 12 months of MAGNETIC BLUE! Thanks everyone for voting.

Just kidding. Votes have been tallied; the finalists are undergoing review by the Club111 staff - we start by looking at which 13 images received the most votes, but may deviate from that slightly to end up with the best possible *set* of images (for example, we shy away from having the same car featured twice, unless they're really, really good images).

Genjuro · 12-07-2005, 01:34 PM

Hey Matt.. during the time period after you entered my picture.. could you tell me if my picture got any votes at all? There is a vain part of me that would be interested in finding out if that pic is worth the electrons it takes up on my hard disk. =)

Gojira · 12-07-2005, 01:54 PM

yes, it would be nice to see the vote tally

Oh sure, it got votes, but it didn't make it past the first round of voting...sorry!

I wouldn't delete it from your hard disk, though!

I have doubts about that sort of deviation. Were that a legit criterium, why allow multiple entries of the same car? When the same car got the votes, or the photographer was that much better that s/he garnered the votes, why not leave it as it stands? To soothe the feelings of one or two less likely calendar buyers? Wrong reason.

Are you talking about this pic?

I don't think this pic was in the first voting thread. If it had been, I would have voted for it because I really liked it and was sorry it was late. I love the effect with the leaves. 'Course, I am a tree hugger.

Just so you know...

I don't see that as the reason at all. I think there is value in variety... for example a calendar of all the same color car would not be as worthy to me. Well, unless they were all yellow.

Ancient Wedgie · 12-07-2005, 02:57 PM

Well, why not yellow if it voted well? Didn't the SY outnumber just about any other color anyway. Were those photos to predominate the vote, that was in large measure because they meritted it from the first round of voting.

Affirmative Action for car colors?

Perhaps that should have been announced before hand so we could comb the bushes for a larger number of candidates to run against those that photographed better and wound up being chosen on that basis.

It could also be that the photographers of a handful of colors were far better too. But what do I know? You've got your reasons.
