Here's something we've been wanting to do for a long time. A SurveyorConnect wall calendar! But we didn't want to just throw one together from stock photos or whatever. We want our first calendar to be collaborative, featuring photos from YOU, our illustrious members.

Announcing our first-ever photo contest

You've shared many surveying-related photos with us in the forum over the years. But now we'd like to get your best photos and include them in a SurveyorConnect calendar. So grab your cameras and your mobile phones, and get clickin' -- we'll feature the winning photos in a 2022 wall calendar.?ÿOf course, we'll give you credit for your photos, printed directly on the calendar pages.

CLICK HERE TO ENTER

You can enter as many photos as you want into the contest -- albeit one at a time -- and we'll choose our favorite 12 to be included in the calendar. One of those 12 will be selected as the Grand Prize Winner, with his/her photo featured on the cover. In addition, all 12 winners will get some swag!

Grand Prize Winner will receive:

  • (1) 15 oz. SurveyorConnect mug
  • (2) copies of the 2022 Calendar
  • Featured on 2022 Calendar cover
  • SC stickers & magnets

?ÿ

Honorable Mentions will receive:

  • (1) copy of the 2022 Calendar
  • SC sticker & magnet

?ÿ

All entries are due by midnight on October 31, 2021.

Once the calendars are ready for shipping, we'll provide information on how everyone else can purchase them directly from the publisher for quick delivery in time for 2022. 🙂

Sounds like this will be great.

Note the rules include a time limitation that rules out lots of good old ones.

"Photos must be original, unaltered work, taken by yourself on or after January 1, 2021."

Great idea! But the 1/1/2021 date limit is a problem for me, tons of old pictures here but now mostly stuck @ the office.

christof.

I agree I think the date range is a little tight.?ÿ

cat pictures ??

I'd think only if they are posing on a survey monument, dressed in a safety vest, or operating the equipment. ?????ÿ

I've removed the date limitation for the photo contest, since this is the first one. I may restrict it more next year (assuming we do it again -- I sure hope so!) to avoid duplicates and to make sure we get fresh content. 🙂

Hope you get a pic of someone's coworker causing elimination via the lower orifice out in the midst of a poison ivy thicket.?ÿ Holding some mullen leaves in one hand.

There is also the potential pic of a coworker on all fours with the derriere being the highest point by far because one arm is extended near full length into an excavation for a buried bar/stone.

Closest I have to that is a front view of my brother reaching 27 inches down to clean off the "underground mark" where a triangulation station subsurface disk had been destroyed.?ÿ We dug a post hole in a hayfield where the reference disk ties indicated and there it was. I won't be submitting it.

Some of the young bucks here might attempt to reproduce something akin to the Hot Firefighters Calendar.?ÿ I bet Angel would enjoy that.
