2009 APN Calendar and updates and more

Tue Jun 24, 2008, 12:19 PM
2009 APN Calendar - update
Last month I posted a journal and poll to gauge the community interest which seemed to be very positive.

The next step would be to decide on which Animal, Plants and Nature Charity should be chosen to benefit from any of the profits from the calendar sales. Please note me with a subject line "APN charity" with the charity you wish to be considered and I will put a poll together for the community to select our chosen charity.

Current suggestions
The Nature Conservancy from *cccpk
Animals Asia from =AdamsWife
Arbor Day Foundation from *Meeliah
Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust from *EarthHart
The Woodland Trust from *EarthHart
Fauna & Flora International from *EarthHart
Amphibian Ark from =InsaneGelfling
The Earth Organisation from =InsaneGelfling

You might of noticed the lack of involvement from me on dA in the last month but I am currently working flat out on a power station outage which is taking 99% of my time. If I'm not working I'm sleeping. This, unfortunately, will continue until August and I can only apologise for any delays responding to notes and messages.

Silent Auction & Contest for the AC Gallery
You haven't missed ^Kitten-of-Woe's Auction/Contest have you?

Read all about it here. The Artisan Crafts gallery is going to have a Silent Auction and Contest in which interested deviants can donate a handcrafted item to $Moonbeam13's 60k Walkathon in "The Weekend to End Breast Cancer."

To support $Moonbeam13's charity of choice I will be donated 100% of the profits from all prints bought from my dA account until September. Can you find a way of supporting this very worthwhile cause?

Journal CSS Contest
It's contest time once again. After the changes to dA journals my CSS needs to be reworked so I thought I would take the opportunity to revamp the style of journal I use and get you to design and code it for me.

The contest will last until the end of August so plenty of time for you to plan it out. Note me ^KevLewis with your CSS entries with the subject line "CSS contest".

My old journal style I really liked so that is a good guideline for any entries to the contest.The only stipulation is that the CSS code should be fully compliant with any dA restriction and should look as good in FF as IE7. I need to be able to feature artists with nicely formatted thumbnails, have a regular list of links and also have a number of headlined sections for different articles etc.

The winner will receive a 12 month Subscription. I do reserve the right not to select a winner if none of the designs comply with the listed requirements.

I do not know any english charities so I will let others pick one for me ;)
As you're English and this was your idea, I feel that's logical choose an english charity :)

dA is an international site and although I would prefer an english charity I will be happy to accept what the community decide upon :)

:nod: No matter the charity, I will get a calendar :) And my mother might get one as well as I talked to her about your idea and she really adored it :)

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark.
And a large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Thankyou again for plugging the Silent Auction and that's really swell of you to participate in your own way. I was thinking that one of these years maybe it could be a dA-wide Auction & Contest. Also, you said a while back that you'd be posting info in June about sending postcards for your wife's birthday in September. Have you yet or did I miss it?

Shoutboard

The Gallery descriptions for the Animals, Plants and Nature Categories


* Birds - Photographs of live birds either in their natural habitat or captivity (ie. zoo or wildlife sanctuary) should be placed here. Photographs of extinct birds on display in museums also belong here.

* Domesticated Animals - Photographs of live animals that live with people as pets or livestock in houses or on farms. Images of captive wild animals should be placed in the Wild Animals category.

* Flowers & Plants - Studio or outdoor photographs featuring plants, trees, flowers, and so on. Pictures of mushrooms will go here as well, even though they are not plants.

* Geology - Photographs taken to illustrate naturally formed geological features. Landscape/waterscape images should not be placed here as they have their own categories.

* Invertebrates - Photographs of live Insects, Arachnids, Gastropods, Molluscs, Butterflies and Dragonflies.

* Landscapes - Photographs of an expanse of natural scenery that can be seen in a single view. This category differs from a waterscape in that landscapes should feature solid ground for the most part.

* Aquatic Life - Photographs of all aspects of both fresh and salt water live subjects belong in this category. Images may include coral, shells, sea creatures or fish taken from above AND below water level. Waterscapes do not belong in this category as they have their own gallery.

* Miscellaneous - Photographs of Animals, Plants and Nature that fail to fit in the other categories.

* Reptiles & Amphibians - Photographs of animals that includes crocodiles, alligators, tuatara, lizards, snakes, amphibians, turtles, frogs & toads.

* Sky - Photographs of nature involving the sky or astronomical features as the most significant element. Images of fireworks are specifically excluded from this category.

* Waterscapes - Photographs of an expanse of natural scenery that can be seen in a single view. This category differs from a landscape in that waterscapes should feature water - flowing or standing - for the most part.

* Weather - Photographs focusing on capturing the weather at the particular point in time.

* Wild Animals - Photographs of live animals that do not typically live with people. This category would also include wild animals in captivity (i.e. in a zoo). Birds, Insects and Arachnids, Reptiles & Amphibians do not belong in this category as they have their own galleries.
