COLORADO NATIONAL MONUMENT 

CALENDAR PHOTO REQUESTS

Colorado National Monument Association publishes an annual calendar featuring a variety of images taken in the monument. Twelve (12) full-pagephotographs are required, as well as approximately 30 smaller grid images.

For the 2010 calendar, we would like to feature a variety of Monument topics.

Wildlife: This can include our larger mammals such as big horn sheep or bobcats, and smaller ones  such as rock squirrels. Pictures of birds and lizards are popular; butterflies always add color.

Plants: Spring flowers and blooming shrubs are excellent; but don’t forget that old twisted juniper. Fall colors are also important.

Landscapes: All four seasons are emphasized (yes, we do know that winter is often a photographer’s delight), as well as unusual and perhaps less known rock formations and Monument features.

In order to insure that all submissions are judged fairly, we ask that you submit only prints. We request 8 x 10 colored prints in landscape format. The maximum to submit is 10. Please see Guidelines on the attached Submission Form for more information.

“Payment” for the use of your image(s) will be 10 calendars for one or more full-page picture and 5 calendars for one or more smaller grid picture --– not to exceed 10. Photographers will be given credit for their photographs in the calendar.

Thank you for your participation in our 2010 calendar.

Please contact us if you have any questions. Feel free to forward this information to other photographers with great photos of our Monument. Deadline for submission is February 13, 2009.
