Here's the link to Sam's discussion about photo qualifications. Who wouldn't want their corgi in the calendar over and over and over again??!!! Send in ALL your good photos today!! We don't want Sam to have to resort to PLAN B!!!!

Jan 18 UPDATE FROM SAM:
Okay folks, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now, thank you so much for submitting photos to MyCorgi.com, I have more than enough for the calendar now, so please give me sometime to sort them out.
Considering tomorrow is my B day, I will not be working on the project at all, so the earliest I can post a final list for the 365 is Friday. As far as printing goes, it should take about a month (1K-3K will be printed), so the 365 calendar will start with the month of March / April and end on 2013 March / April.
Again, thank you for all the awesome photos, it’s been a joy to work on this project :)
Jan 23rd UPDATE FROM SAM:
Here are the finalists. I will post pre-order info end of this month. Thank you :)
(see page 14 of this discussion for the photo list)
Jan 27 UPDATE FROM SAM:
Okay, all the photos went through the photoshop process, we've done some in photo home renovation / decluttering, clearing stray leaves, removed all commercial branded logos...etc. We are currently waiting on several commercial printer's feedback, once all the kinks have been worked out, I'll release the pre-ordering information, hopefully sometime next week.
Due to good business practice, we've decided to change "project 365" calendar dates to Jan - dec 2013 (not release date). I know this change will disappoints a lot of you (myself included), but our main objective for all project is to raise a good amount of funding for rescues. So in order to accomplish that goal, we need very good sales, and the result will determine if there will be another 365 project in the future. I sincerely apologize for the date shift, project 365 is still a go and it's happening.
So what about those who missed the 12 month calendar and the 365 project? Have no fear, I will release the details for project "plan B" and project "edu" in the coming months. Project "Plan B" will have a launch date of xmas 2012, Project "edu" will have a tentative date of spring 2013. Stay Tuned!

Hi Snickmom, MP and MB are different, don't worry about MP, make sure you use the highest quality setting for your pics and that should do it.

Hello Sam,
Can you tell me if the photos I sent in today are up to the specifications?
Thanks~

Hey guys! The Megapixel refers to how big the photo can be when it's printed. For example, an 8 mp camera will usually be able to print out an 8x10 without any distortion. The bigger the megapixel, the bigger the picture. A 4 mp is usually OK for a 5x7 print. Also, if you go to your menu on your camera, you can change the pixel setting size. Just mess with it and you'll find it.
Set if for the biggest size (make it bigger or the same as 2240x1792) and you'll be OK. Hope this helps!

Thanks for your response! It was the only one that made complete sense to me. But, I'm giving up. My camera does best outside, and so do my Corgis! It's a cold and gloomy day. But, I will fool with my camera so that maybe next year I can submit a photo. I actually never print my photos, just save them on my computer. If we're not already friends, let's be!

Wendy, my new camera is a 13mp so maybe the one of Snickers and Ricky-Rafa will get in the calendar! My old camera was a 512K, which are the pics that Sam said were too small. It is supposed to clear up tomorrow, so if your camera can be cranked up, give it a try!

I'm done. If I could tweak the photos with Snickers I would. I liked having 2 Corgis that met on this site.
I might even have tried to get a few shots of Lucy w. Ricky-Rafa today, esp. w/ Jack home to keep their attention w/ treats, but it was so cold and dreary, I figured I couldn't get a good shot. I KNOW I don't get good indoor shots so I think I'm done.
I did ask a few members that seemed to figure out how to tweak photos for hints. But, so far none have been any help to me. And the reality is that I already have the mycorgi wall calendar, plus 2 other wall calendars given to me by friends...

Ahh, when it said 5MB limit, I thought it meant "no more than 5MB", not "at least 5MB." Oops.

The ones I sent in that made it were less than 5MB.
So why did they make it?
Now I am thoroughly confused!
I am done trying, lol I think Romeo is well represented with what I sent it already.
Just hope others are able to send in so we can have a 365 calendar at all!!!
