Sorry i'm a bit late with this one, forgot about it with all that covid jazz kicking about. I'd imagine most of these will be driveway shots

Submission Rules
Voting Rules
Using the "like button in the bottom corner of each post counts as a vote. You can vote for as many photos as you want, and you can change your votes at any time.
Suggestions on how to take a good photo
*Use a high resolution photo - if you win you'll be contacted for the best res version of that photo you have. If its good enough for print it will be included in the next years calendar, if not we will contact position 2 etc. Other users of the month will also be selected if the res is high enough.
Submissions will close at the end of the month but voting will remain open all year.
How does it work?
- Upload the best photo you have of your Mazda RX7 (Must be an FD) to this topic.
- On the last day of the month, submissions are no longer accepted, at which point voting will begin.
- Voting will be done in the form of "reactions" or "likes". Click the "like" button in the lower right of each image to cast your vote (you can vote for as many photos as you'd like, and you can also change your vote(s) as well).
- You can see who has the most votes by checking out the "photo contest" block at the top of the page. The photos will have a "reaction counter" in the bottom corner of each photo, which will tell you who is in the lead.
- Voting will end on the very last day of the month, at which point the top 3 photos will be selected for the calendar.

Submission Rules
- Only one photo submission per member.
- The photo must be taken this month.
- No photos with the photographers watermarks (logo/name/instagram/slogan) - You can submit a photo you haven't taken yourself however, if it contains watermarks PAY the photographer for the image.
- Please choose the best photo you have. Blurry photos, low resolution photos, and photos with poor lighting are not likely to get you many votes.
- If you won the car/photo of the month contest within the last year, you are not eligible to compete again until the next year. This is to primarily to stop Spammers like @Fiddy clogging up the internet with photos of Jit’s car.
- Do not submit photos taken with your phone using portrait mode (up and down). These photos are unusable for the calendar, and it's simply bad practice to begin with. If you submit a photo like this, I will delete it and it will not be included in the contest.
- Photoshop is only allowed when it's done to clean-up the photo. Do not use Photoshop to place your car in a place it never really was (a scenic backdrop for instance), or put things in the photo that were never there to begin with.
- Do not use Instagram style photo filters
- Any photos that looks like it was taken by @Spendyrx will probably be deleted

Suggestions on how to take a good photo
- Choose a good, scenic background. You're probably more likely to win that way as oppose to just taking a photo in the back of halfords car park.
- Landscape / panoramic style images are what we are looking for. In other words, photos that are long and short as oppose to tall and narrow. For those of you taking the photos with a phone, please do not take your photo in portrait mode.
- Use good lighting. Good lighting makes all the difference in the world in a photo.
*Use a high resolution photo - if you win you'll be contacted for the best res version of that photo you have. If its good enough for print it will be included in the next years calendar, if not we will contact position 2 etc. Other users of the month will also be selected if the res is high enough.
