Following are the rules for submitting a photograph for inclusion in the 2010 Ridgeback-a-Day Calendar – a 365-day, spiral-bound, desktop-style calendar with a different picture of a Rhodesian Ridgeback each day. Submission of a photograph does not guarantee inclusion in the calendar. The selection of photographs for the 2010 calendar will be made in the sole discretion of Rhodesian Ridgeback Rescue, Inc. (“RRRInc”). RRRInc reserves the right to accept or refuse any photograph for inclusion in the 2010 calendar for any reason in its sole discretion. All photographs will be returned to their owners, whether or not they are used.

1. Photographs of all Rhodesian Ridgebacks may be submitted. Dogs DO NOT have to be Rescue dogs. Purebred, ridgeless, and mixed-breed dogs may be submitted, provided, however, that any ridgeless or mixed-breed dog submitted should look like a Ridgeback. Multiple dogs may be included in one picture.
   
   
2. Candid or professional photographs may be submitted under the following conditions:
   
   • No show or conformation pictures will be accepted;
   • No pictures with people will be accepted, EXCEPT for children under the age of five;
   • Traditional, printed photographs will be accepted; digital, scanned, or other electronic images must be submitted by email to calendar@ridgebackrescue.org or on disc to one of the addresses listed on this site. Low-resolution electronic images (e.g., under 300 dpi) might not be accepted;
   • If a professional photograph is submitted, please also include evidence that the original photographer has authorized the use of that photograph for these purposes. A Professional Photograph Release and Waiver form is available;
   • RRRInc will not pay a fee for the use of any photograph.
   
   
   
3. There is no limit on the number of photographs that may be submitted, provided that each photograph is accompanied by a "Submission and Authorization Form."
   
   
4. Photographs may be submitted with a preferred day for display. If your photograph is accepted for inclusion in the calendar, best efforts will be made to display it on or near one of your preferred days; RRRInc cannot guarantee, however, that your photograph will appear on any of your preferred days.
   
   
5. Each calendar page will display the dog’s(s’) call name(s) and an "I’m a Rescue" medallion, if it is a rescue dog. Photo submitters may also include additional information in a caption that can accompany each photograph in the calendar up to a maximum of 100 characters, including spaces. Such additional information could include:

   Dog’s registered name; kennel name; owner’s name; owner’s city; or any other brief or creative comment or description (see previous calendars for samples and ideas!)

   Advertising or other commercial offerings in a caption are not acceptable.
   
   
6. If your photograph is accepted for inclusion in the 2010 Ridgeback-a-Day Calendar, then you will be charged a Submission Donation (see below) for each photograph accepted and a confirmation notice will be sent to you. Payment of your Submission Donation must be included up front with your Submission and Authorization Form. Fees sent with rejected photographs, along with all photographs, will be returned to you following completion of the project. One calendar may be pre-ordered at a discounted, pre-order price for each photograph submitted (see below*). Delivery of pre-ordered calendars is anticipated by fall 2009.
