The Kia Stinger Killer Calendar Competition

[Ozstung]

Did I see in another thread that people are already getting the calendar? Or is it just the participants/winners who are getting theirs now?

Just the winners (12).

Is there going to be a calendar for sale to the forum, then? Or is this year just a trial run for 2020?

You will have to ask Sal that one but he is under the pump at moment with family issues i found out today. Pm him and he will get around to msg eventually.

I'm hoping theres more for sale I thought that's what I originally heard?

Sorry for the delay, everyone! I tried one last time to make a few improvements but the next batch came out exactly the same as the first. I have some learning to do in this area. In any event, calendars went out today and orders can be placed in the store here: The Kia Stinger Killer Calendar - Kia Stinger dot com

That's a bit steep (with shipping) for a calendar. But it's an "exclusive". I ordered one.

Thank you. The price will come down if I find people are buying it enough to buy a large quantity. In the meantime, I need to recoup costs. I spent over $80 in shipping so far today. Those international postage fees are a killer.

Sal do you need our addresses to mail out the people that are in the calendar?

My favorite is October, my Bday month and a Silky Silver (I think; darker looking in the shade?). It's an odd one: looks to be a Base Stinger, but with dark chrome on it: could be the effect of being in the shade, I suppose.

Anyway. My positive feedback includes: good paper stock/quality; mostly good/interesting pictures; it's a Kia Stinger calendar exclusive. My criticisms are: picture resolution is mediocre to poor on most of them, they are pixelated in the linear way; not enough variation in car colors (I know, "most likes"; but that should have been coupled with "next most likes of a varying color from colors already chosen", imho); it should be bigger format, I was hoping for c. 14". Oh, one other thing; May, September and December Stingers got perforated for the coil binder. Bad call, imho. The subject should never be punched; I don't care how many "likes" the picture gets; it cheapens the whole calendar.

It's a nice five to ten buck calendar. So, as I already said, a bit steep (especially with shipping added on).

Next year's calendar, I hope, will be bigger, have all the available colors represented, and not be pixelated, i.e. the resolution of the submitted files must be a minimum MB size or be disqualified; most cellphone cameras these days will take c. 12MB size pictures; but I think 3 to 4 MB file size is a minimum that will not look pixelated when expanded to 14".

We could get started right now with the entries. I don't see any reason why not.
