We are looking for YOUR photos for the 2025 C-BRATS Calendar.
FYI, these may also be included in some social media productions for C-Dory promotion.

Last years calendar was a great success, so we want to do it again. Please join us!
    • We will be collecting images from now until October 31
    • Submission of pictures can be from any year, although more recent seasons, especially 2024, will have priority.
    • We desire high quality photos, but that can include many pictures taken with phones**.
    ** Note that my (Colleen/DayBreak) submissions in past years were taken with an iPhone. If you are unsure of the picture quality, simply enlarge it on your computer screen to see if the resolution remains clear.

Official Submission criteria:
    • Photos from past seasons accepted, but photos from the most recent season, 2024, have priority.
    • The photos may be either taken by you the boat owner or, of your boat if taken by someone else for you.
    • While High Def images will have priority, high quality phone images are acceptable.
    • All photos need to be Landscape (horizontal) format, or cropable to a 4x3 ratio.
    • Photos should be JPEG or JPG format, (PNG is usable also).

How to submit:
    1. Gather 1 to 8 of your best photos as well as the following required information for each photo.
      (1) Photographers name.
      (2) Photographers C-BRAT username. (Makes it easier to find you on C-BRATS)
      (3) Name of Boat owner. (Some Exceptions can be allowed.)
      (4) Name of any C-Dory's in the picture (if it's not obvious), if possible.
      (5) General location where the photo was taken.
    2. Email the images AND above required information to julie@nmiboats.com. Please include:
      (1) A Subject line with “2025 C-BRAT Cal submits” and also your C-BRAT user name.
      (2) Up to 4 image files, each with a specific file name. NOTE: Please keep email size under 15 megabytes. If you must send more than one email, see instructions below.
      (3) A separate document included in the same email that lists each of the image files by that specific file name, and the required 5 pieces of information about each image (see above).
    3. Acceptance deadline will be Oct 31 at midnight. Nothing will be accepted after that date.

Calendar Details:
    • We hope to have the calendar ready for purchase late November.
    • There will be 13 photos in the calendar, 12 months and a bonus cover pix. It is highly unlikely that more than one photo from any one submitter will be on the calendar.
    • We want to include as many model variations as possible, so looking forward to photos of any/all models, C-Dory/Venture/Cape Cruiser/TomCat. And from across the continent; Canada, USA, and Mexico. Wherever you have been boating.

If sending more than one email with images, please read this:
    To submit more than 4 photos, you will need to send them in 2 emails sets. The second set must use numbers continued from the first email set. (IE: Set #1; 1,2,3,4 and then Set #2; 5,6,7,8. If the size of your photos requires a 3rd email set, continue to number the photos consecutively.)

A big thanks to Julie from NMI for her work on this project.

Thanks,
Colleen / DayBreak

While we are waiting for the calendar to come out, feel free to share pictures of your 2024 CDory adventures here!

I have a number of photos I'd like to submit. But my theme this year will be "trailerable". Thus I will be submitting photos of the boat on a trailer while traveling. I also have a few from gatherings, and then a few more on the water. Are we restricted to 8, or can we submit more? Colby

Colby, we love your photos and great idea on photos of the boat on a trailer while traveling. You do a lot of that! Smile To make Julie's job easier the photos were limited to 8. Feel free to contact her at NMI to see if you could send more. Thanks.
