No Debate About It - Only three more days to vote!

Time is running out on voting for the favorite photos on my 2017 calendar.  The deadline is midnight, Friday, September 30.

So far 39 people have voted.  Here are some hints on how things are coming out.
Will this photo make the cut?


  • The first and second place photos have been within one vote of each other for a while.  
  • There are several ties, which means your vote really counts!
    • Three in fourth place
    • Three in seventh
    • Two in eleventh
    • Two in fourteenth
    • plus several others
  • I was hoping that America! ( Navy Seal Parachutist) would be in the top 14 so I can use it for July.   No problem there as that one is currently in fourth place.
  • There are no flowers in the top 14.  The closest is in 22nd place.  If you want to see flowers on the 2017 calendar, better get your votes in.
In case you missed it, here's how to vote - http://thesiggins.blogspot.com/2016/09/its-time-for-you-to-vote.html

I will be starting the process of putting the calendar together this weekend.  Once that starts, it will be too late to vote, but not too late to order.  Remember, ordering is easy -- just send me an email at rcsiggins@gmail.com and let me know how many you want.

It's Time For You To Vote!

It's Time For You To Vote!

No, it's not November 8th just yet.   However, it is time for you to help pick the photos to go on my 2017 wall calendar.  Each year I invite anyone who has bought one of my calendars in the past or intends to buy one this year to help select the 14 photos to be included in the next year's calendar.  It's time for you to start the voting for the 2017 calendar photos.


Will one of these photos make the 2017 edition?
Appalachian Trail
Northern Lights
Crabtree Falls
The fun part is you get to help pick the 14 photos (12 months, plus the front and back covers).  In the past, I have picked some of my favorites before letting you vote on the rest.  This year I'm leaving it wide open and you get to vote on all of them.

The candidate photos are available online at
http://www.thesiggins.com/SpecialProjects/2017-Calendar-Candidates/

These were all taken in the past 12 months and include photos from Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Michigan and Iceland.  The best way to browse through the photos is to click on the first small thumbnail to zoom in on that photo.  You can then use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard to flip through the full-size versions.  
How To Vote
Each photo has a title, such as Appalachian Trail, that displays at the bottom of the photo.

Send the names of your 14 picks (the order doesn't matter) to me at rcsiggins@gmail.com by midnight Friday, September 30 .  I will total up the votes and announce the winners on Saturday, October 1.

Cost and Ordering
The calendars are still only $15 each and all the profit goes to support Hope Haven Ministries in Kingsport.

To order send an email to Richard Siggins at rcsiggins@gmail.com.  Calendars will be available for pickup or delivery in Kingsport starting in the second week of November.   They can be mailed to you for $3.
Please help by forwarding this to your friends and family or sharing on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
