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 :-)

Calendar Competition........

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Welcome all to the inaugural Snowhead Calendar Competition!

As some of you may have read in the Apres Zone, it has been decreed that we deserve a Calendar. We are aiming to include 12 of the best photo's taken by our very own snowheads.

As we speak we are awaiting price info from various suppliers yada yada yada.....

What we do need however, is your help. As some of you keen eyed snowheads may have noticed, Alan Craggs has set up a new section in the "snowMedia zone", called "Champagne Powder". We hope that those of you who have photos that you would like to be considered for the calendar will post the photo's there. We will then set up a way of voting for each photo. We will then judge which 12 photo's to include in the calendar. Once we have a price and a better idea of when the printing will commence we will inform you of the closing date for uploads and hence voting.

I realise that this is still rather vague and some points still need nailing down but bare with us Shocked and hopefully we will have a swish new calendar to adorn our offices/kitchens/bedrooms etc by the new year.

Get uploding those photo's and see what we can cobble together.

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy snowHead Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Mouth, have you first registered separately with snowMedia ?? You can use the same username and password - in fact same username is recommended. After email confirmation log in and then never log out properly (just close the window) - it will then autolog you in on every subsequent visit. Then it's probably best to create a personal gallery - unless you've got a couple of supershots destined for the new champagne powder gallery or other predefined slots, in which case don't bother. Then the Upload Photos button (second from right on the top menu bar) leads to the next stage and provided you can find your own shots on your own PC when you use the browse buttons it should be straightforward. Once they are in there somewhere, it is relatively simple to create 'copies' in other folders if necessary.
Hope this helps. If not - Alan C's the expert on all things snowMedia. Laughing

I am glad that this has now got a proper headline, as there are some really good photos out there.

Scarpa, I came by your photo the other day and have I have rated accordingly, unfortunately it's probably not going to make it to the champagne league though wink Laughing

Admin or anyone : I have downloaded another photo the " Oh God " in the calender section but the the picture is on its side.

Need to adjust it so it faces upright - where is the delete button and how do I make it face upright?

Thanks!

Just to let everyone know what is going on at the moment. I am finding it increasingly difficult to get an answer from various companies with regards to price and/or availabilty of printing these calenders. I will update more when I have any movement.

Have you got it designed yet?

Ex designer now chalet owner here (and not much to do in November/early Dec, with a template for an A4 calendar which I did for Royal Meterological Society last year. Could re-jig the design for you! If not will definately send some ace photos we took last season.

Seems a shame to me that more people haven't looked at and 'rated' the photos - there are clearly very differing tastes out there as well judging by some of the current ratings! Also, surely there are LOADS more good photos out there .... come on people upload your pics!!!

Just a couple of things for information:-

You may (or may not!) have noticed that the pics in that gallery appear in "rated" order.

As the mediazone re-sizes uploaded pics to save space and bandwidth, any pics on there will clearly not be suitable for quality large size printing. We have a (secret wink ) facility to up/download larger files which can be made available to the providers of pics (in we trust hi-res versions) that are eventually used for printing.

Given snowHeads' support for the Leopard, how about this one for a calendar? Complete with snowHeads hat of course (shows up really well in the high res image).

Clicking on thumbnail gives high res image - but note it's 2MB....

I think at this point we are unlikely to get printed calendars out for the New Year. We do seem to have accumulated a particularly fine set of photos though.
