Please submit no more than 10 of your highest quality desert photographs. The guidelines for submission are as follows:

Transparencies: 35mm, 2 ¼, 6x7 or 4x5. 

Digital images: Minimum 300dpi 9”x12” images in .tiff format
Mandatory: include printed proof sheet(s) with 2”x3” (or larger) thumbnail images for digital submissions. 

Please send large-scale, horizontal, landscape images (which may include people as small elements) for the large (9x12) full-page sheets, and smaller scale vertical or horizontal (details of flowers, wildlife, etc.) for the inset images on the calendar grid.  Be sure that a description of each photograph is provided, either on the photograph itself, or on a separate sheet with corresponding numbers.

The calendar will be printed in CMYK, which has a smaller color gamut than the RGB palette. Therefore please be conservative with saturation increases and do not sharpen files.

Please include a self-addressed envelope with your submission to ensure proper protection and return of your images.

Please submit images by no later than June 1st, 2008. Images can be submitted to:
