AVD comp - calender - now done $18

ClassicVW(pacific) · 2004-09-24T06:11:51+00:00

Please all entries by E-mail to ClassicVWpacific@aol.com We put the following idea to Jim, who has replied and suggested we put it to members for thier feedback. Hi Jim, Have been mulling over on a thought I had, I dont know whether you would be interested or if you have already done something similar. How about a members show and shine, it would be more of a photographic skills competition really. Members post a (1) photo of their vehicle(s) trying to highlight what makes theirs special, or their vehicle with a fantastic backdrop. Maybe not just a normal everyday photo of a car Then a voting system by members to pick the best photo or photos split into types. We would be willing to sponsor trophies or vouchers as I am sure others would too. Would appreciate your thoughts If this would cause an increased workload for you, I would gladly accept emailed pictures and I would get together a judging panel from my local area to pick the winner(s). Its just a bit of fun and truly national, maybe an excuse for everyone to get clicking. Good advertising for aussieveedubbers as I am sure VWMA would be interested too Cheers Roy Reply here or give us your suggestions on ClassicVWpacific@aol.com [Edited on 24-9-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 2-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 15-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 15-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)]:vader [Edited on 19-12-2004 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 9-1-2005 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 20-1-2005 by ClassicVW(pacific)] [Edited on 27-1-2005 by ClassicVW(pacific)]

we thought that it would not necessarily be the best kombi or the best beetle, but 1 photo that really shows off what you believe is great about your ride, backdrop, witty, humerous or use (no nudity censorship rules must prevail!!!). So who cares if there is no bottom left in your car take a photo of it and enter it.
Yes the vehicle(s) must be owned by the person entering it.
No touch ups
Just a bit of fun
Open to aussieveedubbers members only???

i like the sound of these rules.. to many categories would suck..too complicated best kombi, bug, ghia Type 3 etc.

just show and shine your current ride in one un touched photo🙂

Ok here is the general format of the comp.
Let us know if this is agreeable or if any changes have to be made, it is a member comp and therefore your feedback and suggestions are welcome.
Please no photos yet
Open to all Aussieveedubbers members
Submit one genuine photo (not touched up) of vehicle(s)
Must be owned by submitter at time of entry
Any angle, backdrop, use, subject, humerous, artistic etc etc (not necessarily the best vehicle will win but more of the way it is pictured?)
E-mailed to ClassicVWpacific@aol.com
Clearly marked VW competition
Contact details Vehicle type, year etc
Time period of one month for entries
We will post photos in a reduced format on this site after closure of comp entries
Judges (to be chosen) pick a winner for each category

Have I missed anything
Cheers

Sounds like a great idea. Perhaps have judging from outside so as you don't just have people voting for their mates rides. Infact, perhaps even pick some non-VW judges like the staff at a non VW car magazine or something?
Just thinking out loud,

Mines like an Oil Painting - The Further back you get the better it looks.

Top Idea - Of couse I can't enter as I have no rego and my rides only half done. Regardless it will be good to watch. I just hope it's so successful that it will run again some day. This time when I go to Stockton, intead of sitting on my arse at sunset sucking back crownies I will be out shuttering.

Bring it on Gyols and Boies. Show us what ya got!

How about make it a top 12 of AussieVeeDubbers and turn it into a calender. That way you could have best split, best bay, best bug etc...
And sell it at events to pay for the site.
or am i geting to ahead of myself

You guys beat me to it, I was just about to start this off.
Fantastic idea about the Calendar, instead of trophies ??
I am sure the site moderaters will be cool with that.
If that is ok we will pay for the calenders and the setting up, if any other companies wish to contribute, please feel free. Then all the profits to AVD

So lets get the ball rolling

Good luck everyone

Great idea with the calendar and so on. Really fantastic stuff Nige. Well done.

Well, I could take care of selling them in Vic I guess, more at shows than anything else preferrably.. We can talk about that later anyway, but I think that is a great suggestion.

THE LOWEST WITH THE MOSTEST BLING BLING WINS!!

What size/resolution do the pics have to be for the calender? (for those lucky enough to be in the top 12)

Quite a few cameras won't be able to produce a pic with a high enough resolution to print well, even though they look great on screen.
