    Alright, I think I'm going to jump on the contest bandwagon - mainly because I want to see what you guys can come up with 🙂

    So the theme of the contest is "Calendar Girls".

    The rules are as follows:

    • 2 entries per person
    • 1 entry per month
    • This means you can enter one image for February and one for June for example
    • Your entries must state which month they're for
    • Entries must be the following image size: 1920x1200
    • All entries must be SFW (safe for work)
    • Closing date for entries is 15th of January 2018 at midnight GMT

    Prizes at this stage:

    1 winner per month
    1000 points for each winner

    If anyone else wants to throw some points in the pot, send me a PM. If enough points come in, we may also see second and third place prizes but I unfortunately don't have enough points at this stage to throw in more than 12000 so every month gets a prize.

    Voting will be from the 15th of January to the 22nd of January 🙂

    Looking forward to seeing what exciting images come in.

    This sounds like a cool idea! Looking forward to the entries too.
    Sending you some points to double the prize pool 🙂

    With the awesome Tomsk doubling the prize pool to 24000 (!!!) points:

    1st place for each month: 1200 points
    2nd place for each month: 500 points
    3rd place for each month: 300 points

    More points = 2nd and 3rd place prizes go up to 2/3 and 1/3 of first prize, then the whole lot will be able to increase.

    Can't wait to see the first images to come in now 😀

    Do you want the month on the image ? or just say what month its for.

    Can be either, but I would like a fairly clear thematic link between the month and the image. Such as Christmas and December, Valentine's and February, Halloween and October, etc etc.

    And I'm upping the prize pool for the sake of symmetry.

    3 prizes per month.
    12 months in the calendar.
    36 prizes in total with a prize pool of 28,800 points.

    1st - 1200 points
    2nd - 800 points
    3rd - 400 points

    Call me jaded or even suspicious but can I ask if you're planning on doing anything with this artwork you're commissioning from people @nemain? The image size is rather specific and obviously the format and themes are as well, do you plan to collate these images into a calendar for any particular purpose?

    Valid question, EvilMonkey. Same curiosity.

    Not planning on doing anything with it, I just like to challenge people to larger image sizes rather than smaller ones. The most I would do is have them as desktop backgrounds and admire the awesome work that people do.

    If you guys want me to remove the image size requirement, I can do so but I feel it makes the contest easier as people can choose to have a smaller space to fill.

    And the calendar idea is a combo of the new year coming up and watching a Victoria's Secret show where they did something similar

    At least make it a 16x9 requirement so that the standard is for wide screen monitors. That's what i like to render in, that way it fits.

    I'm going to submit a resized version, with link to full version.

    Uh... Funky artifacts? Was there a smudge on the lens when you took the photo? Just kidding. That was actually a compliment.

    16x9 sounds good... so let's change it to that 🙂

    so 16x9 ratio resolution..that way they can still be used as awesome desktop backgrounds, they're still on the larger side and it gives peeps a bit more freedom 🙂

    Btw @aftyrbyrn, that looks so awesome! I love it!
