Photos Wanted for the 2010 ATC Calendar

Deadline for submission is June 15, 2008

Guidelines for photo submission:

Submissions must be 35mm slides or digital images at a minimum of 300 ppi (pixels per inch) at 13 inches high, saved as a TIFF, EPS or Photoshop file.

•    Each photographer is limited to 36 submissions.

•    The scene must be horizontal.

•    The scene should show the A.T. or be shot from the A.T. or, if taken from a distance, be of a recognizable landmark in the Trail corridor or management zone. Please identify the scene’s location as specifically as possible and the month of shooting on the slide mount. Lack of sufficient identification could disqualify a submission immediately, as would a submission of a scene clearly outside the Trail corridor.

A letter with the submissions should state that they are for the 2010 calendar and provide the name, address, and daytime telephone number of the photographer; the identities of any persons shown; and a detailed description of each scene submitted, including its location and the month of the year it was taken. Photos containing people must be "model released," meaning that the photographer must have permission to publish a photo of the individual(s).

The package should be sent to: Calendar Editor, Appalachian Trail Conservancy, P.O. Box 807 (799 Washington Street for non-USPS submissions), Harpers Ferry, WV 25425-0807. Please send all digital images in C.D. format.

ATC makes every effort to return all slides. Photographers whose slides are selected will be paid $200 per image—after signing release forms and obtaining releases from any identifiable persons in the shots—and the photographer of the cover picture will be paid an additional $50. Selected slides will be held until the calendar is printed.
