2021 Rescue Calendar … Are Your Cameras Ready?
We Need Your Goldens!
Thanks to our initial entrants for sending us their photos and stories about the special goldens in their lives for our upcoming 2021 rescue calendar! We’re still waiting for the rest of you to WOW us with your dog photos!
We have less than a month left before the April 30th deadline, so get those cameras out and click away. How can you resist showing the rest of us what you already know … your goldens are not only photogenic but also goofy, playful, lovable, and charming! Check out the Call for Entries guidelines sheet: www.asgoodasgold.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/2021-Call-for-Entries.pdf
Photo suggestions from our printer:
• show the entire dog/avoid leashes
• leave out humans/human body parts
• shoot in the brightest light possible/get as close as you can; outdoor is best
• for best reproduction the file should be at least 2MB, the higher the better, because actual monthly calendar photos will be enlarged to measure around 7” by 10” HORIZONTAL orientation only
• show the dogs in their setting having fun; facial expressions tell the whole story … eyes are a window to their souls, but a flash in the face is not good for the dogs
In Honor/In Memory Calendar Dates … Uniquely Personal!
Remember what makes the As Good as Gold rescue calendar so unique is your chance to personalize it with in honor/in memory dates for those special pets, including non-AGaG dogs, who have touched your lives.
