I am resurrecting this old thread because I was wondering the same thing as the original poster and found this thread.

On another motorcycle website I frequent, they have a monthly photo contest. The winner of each month is featured on that months calendar page with runner ups smaller on the page.

That website uses www.cafepress.com for the calendars. The beauty of cafepress is there are no minimum orders or run sizes. There is no cost to design or put them up for sale. Each person who wants one, orders on their own so the website has no cost. A profit margin can be set from zero to whatever if the website wanted to make a few bucks off them. We set ours to zero. Thats the up side. The downside is each calendar is more expensive than the ones where you have a minumim order of 100+ and then the website sells them. But there is zero risk to the website being stuck with calendars they couldn't sell.

What that website does is uses the Nov and Dec winners from previous year so the art can be done by year end. So our 2010 calendar will have Nov and Dec 2008 winners and Jan-Oct 2009 winners.

To see how these work, heres the link to that calendar. I am the MAR, APR, and OCT winner on this one..

Anyway, just something to think about.

[Really?]

Like the bikes on that calendar but that site it is for is for the birds.

Well, wasn't trying to sell anyone on the site... just passing along an idea.

[Really?]

I got the point though.  Now I remember what site that I remember your tag from.

Anyone hear from James lately?    He did put together a calander with his 650 and a girl.
He sent me some previews but then I havent heard back from him.

I've made calendars at www.lulu.com before. Upload some pics of the kids, order 2 or three, give them to the Grandma's...easy. Nice quality. Reasonable prices. Made to order so nothing has to go through the site or the site could make a profit also. Some of the templates allow multiple pics on one month so the 21 pics in 12 month thing could also be solved.
One thing, there may be some adult content here and there on the site so monitor what the kids are viewing and be careful at work! As an example there are calendars of nude photography etc...

I have designed a couple calendars for the magazine I used to work for.  It all comes down to the paper stock.  If people want to suggest images, I would be happy to contribute my design know how to help.

I personally do not like to use calendar sites and calendar templates.  Not enough control or freedom to make a clean final product.

THIS IS SPAM.....and he is posting everywhere.....

has anyone gone through with a calender.  i work at a printing company and i could make this happen.  im in school right now studying print production and have been working at a printing company for about 4 years now.  i could do the calender from start to finish and setup a payment site.  the calender would probably be in the ballpark of $15-20.  its a bit late for a 2011 calender but i could get this going. thoughts?
