The Official 2025 Calendar Contest

[DesignFlaw06]

It's that time of the year and I'll once again be running a calendar contest. The window for submitting images is now open! Please read ALL of the rules below before submitting a photo. You can see photos that have already been submitted here: https://www.fjriders.com/calendar-contest/ It sometimes takes me a couple days to get a submitted photo posted so be patient.

This contest benefits the forum a great deal and is our primary fundraiser for the server costs. The calendar is only as good as the participation from our members so please consider submitting an image.

Good luck!



Calendar Contest

CONTEST RULES
1) Submission deadline is November 15th. Voting will begin after that and run to the end of the month

2) This is an FJRiders member calendar, not specifically an FJR calendar. You may see pictures of other bikes. Award stars based on what you feel is calendar worthy and what criteria you feel an entry should meet.

3) Submissions are sent to motorcyclecalendar@gmail.com and make sure to send the high resolution picture. Be sure to include your username and info about the pictures. Two submission per member. Pick your best ones!

4) Photos must be you own. No paid photography. You may submit another image if you do not like how your image is performing. All votes for your image are reset. Photos submitted for previous calendar contests are not allowed, even if they did not win a spot in that calendar.

5) Anyone submitting a photo automatically grants permission for the FJRiders.com staff to use the photo in any FJRiders.com or FJR-related applications.

6) I am not turning the calendar sideways for a month. Photos must be in landscape orientation. They will be resized and cropped to a 2300px x 1800px resolution. Anything that doesn't meet or exceed that resolution will be rejected as a submission.

7) Vote fairly! This contest is meant to be fun and a benefit to our FJR community. Any attempts to sabotage the contest will result in disqualification and/or ban from the contest and forum.

8) Voting is a 5 star system. Click on the highest star you want to award. Rankings are a combination of rating and number of votes. The voting window will open November 15th.

In!

Wait, I guess I should make time to stop and take pictures rather than pulling crappy screen shots from my gopro...

[gixxerjasen]

HPPants for the win on this one. Provided he can sift through the bajillion photos he has and find two to post in time, going to be down to the wire I suppose.

[Hppants]

Yeah - this will have to wait until I get home. I've got a lot of good photos this year to pick from.

[SkooterG]

Damn. That time already? Amazing how quickly time goes by.......

[DesignFlaw06]

Slow start to submissions this year.

So.... on the subject of "first world problems", I've sifted through my 2024 archives. Just for my own understanding (rules not withstanding), I've only considered submitting "FJR pictures", leaving the DR650 out.

1st cut revels 27 choices. You've read that right - by my own "standards", I have 27 pictures that I feel are "calander worthy" from my FJR riding in 2024.

If that doesn't say "It's been one helluva year", nothing does.

2 weeks left to submit photos!

Non FJR photos have a history of a poor showing in the results, unless something terrible happened to you during the year.

I got nuttin to submit really this year. The FJR hardly got pulled out of the garage, and the other bikes didn't see very much use either. I did use up all my time off taking my kid all around Europe instead of riding motorcycles, and it was worth it. I'll live vicariously through the rest of you with a nice calendar.

Just submitted my two offerings for this year.

I go to view the submitted pictures and when I click on a picture it is telling me I have to login to vote. I was already logged in. WTF?

Never mind. I guess the voting doesn't start until all the submissions are in.

Vote early...and often

I'm going to have to dig into the archives - that tree ruined a near perfect shot...

I didn't know you were from Chicago.

I looked through pics of the FJR from last year, and I am on the struggle bus to find something worthy.

I bet if the guy moved his rifle position to the left a little bit, the guy coulda gotcha.
