Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

2017 Calendar - Urgent call to upload!!!

snowHeads 2017 Calendar
Closing date for submission of images and voting is Wednesday 16st November


Yes, it's that time again, to share your best mountain snaps with the world! Because it is later than usual this year we won't be holding a separate voting period after the closing date, and it is essential you all get in your photos as fast as possible. As usual final choice will still come down to us but we will consider any votes cast as a guide.

The rules are simple: you can submit up to 3 pics
Any more and all will be disqualified
, taken in the past 12 months which will be judged by your fellow snow lovers. A selection of the top rated photos will be printed in the 2017 snowHeads calendar, with one on the cover.

Upload here: http://snowmediazone.com/the_zone/g1254-2016-vintage.html

Calendar design dictates 12 of the photos should be landscape, not portrait. (That's a sideways, as opposed to upright, orientation.) There's a possibility a portrait pic will be used for the cover. Mathematicians amongst you will deduce therefore that the odds of having your pic selected are better if you submit a landscape shot.

To ensure good print quality we'll need a hi-resolution version of your image. Some phone images taken low-res really won't cut it, so please check you've got decent versions of the photos you choose to submit. ("DPI is completely irrelevant. It's pixels that count. As a minimum you probably want something like 1400x1050, or better." - allanm, 13/10/14)

If you're new to this, the place to upload your entries is here: snowMedia zone (under the tab 'snowBase'), then in 'Champagne Powder' you'll find the 'Vintage 2016 - pics for the 2017 calendar' folder.

Remember to add a brief description: what it's of, and when and where it was taken.

To enter a photo already uploaded to the snowMedia zone, use the ‘edit’ function to copy it across to the 'vintage 2017' collection. You must only submit pictures to which you own copyright, or have written permission from the copyright owner for publication. If your username on snowMediaZone isn't exactly the same as your snowHeads one - let us know who you are!

Closing date for submission of images is Wednesday 16st November. Entries have already been submitted so get uploading now! final selection will be made on Thursday 17th November to ensure calendars are made and delivered in good time for Christmas. As usual, winning photographers will be sent a calendar for the cost of postage.

Best of luck!

Note: As in previous years, the final choice will be guided by the ratings rather than defined by them, to ensure balance and variation throughout the set.

Remember: to vote for your favourites, you need to be logged into the snowMedia Zone!

What times? Will it be midnight for both, ie there are 24 hours to vote, or what? It's a bit tight. Not everyone is on here 24/7 Laughing .

Well, I am, and I can't see anything about voting, or even something like "Voting link will be up 16th, don't forget to vote!"

Or are we all going to get an email reminder?

@CaravanSkier, no worries snowHead I haven't got much of a clue either! I think that when you upload, the default setting is to allow rating by others, but perhaps that got lost when your pics were being moved around. Pity, I rather like the glass of wine!

I've uploaded two photos three times by mistake (I think I pressed the button too many times), tried deleting one of the copies of one photo, but I seem to have deleted all three. Oh well. I still seem to have three photos out there, although one is repeated - sorry about that.

@maggi, the only alternative with this software would be to set it as a "contest" in which each user could only vote for 1 photo - so simple total of votes at the end. We could stop additional photos being uploaded on a certain date and then enable voting. Do you think that would be preferable? Should we have an advisory referendum? Toofy Grin
