When we first started kicking this idea around, I was a big fan of the "do it yourself" thing. There are so many online printers that it would be so easy to simply have folks lift the winning images and print their own ...
That let to rounds of "well, I might as well just pick MY favourite pictures and print them" which is perfectly reasonable, but then it's not the collaborative effort of the forum and the fun we've had through the year. Folks can still do that.
What we could do is perhaps something charitable. Again, I'm not sure how that might work or what charity we might pick, but it's an idea.
Personal concerns are bankrolling an official calendar, engaging vendors and the respective advertising space, having too few, having too many ...
All those concerns are wiped out, in my mind, by simply going DIY.
Personally, I have absolutely no use for a physical calendar, but then there is the electronic version with high-res pictures and a month stamped into the bottom left, right, middle, top left, right, wherever to suit whatever operating system you run ... which is, again, easily done by simply going DIY.
You can see a theme in my thinking ...
That's where I need some help. I'm rather blind to the purpose of this, hence stating in one of the entries threads that I am not the right fellow to take this forward.
