20th Anniversary FORC Slideshow - We Need Your Photos!

[DH001]

Next year marks FORC's 20th anniversary and, if you haven't heard, there may be some celebrating for the occasion. To go along with the festivities, we are creating a video/slideshow to tell the FORC story and we need your help to do it. Images, short video clips (<1 min), or other interesting media (stories, anecdotes, quotes, etc) from years past that highlight memorable moments in FORC history are needed to make this happen.

The finished video will run 20-30 minutes in length (or ~1 minute of content per year) so we have to be picky about what is included. Ever had to summarize an entire year in 1 minute? Yeah, not easy. Check out the FORC Timeline to jog your memory about a small fraction of what we've been up to for the last 20 years.

Image Submission Guidelines:

• You must have taken the images yourself or have permission to use them.
• Resolution of at least 1920x1080 px would be great. Also, if avoidable, please don't send full resolution files (if much larger than 1920x1080) to save space.
• Please limit submissions to 50 images per individual to save the sanity, and hard drives, of those working on the project. Be picky and send us your very best.
• A brief description of what is happening in the photos you submit would be awesome (eg list the file names and a short description in an accompanying text document).
• Limit subjects to those that touch on significant people/places/events in FORC history.
• Old photos are rare and especially needed (those from 2007 and before). Have any physical copies (prints) we could scan?
• Let us know how to credit you if we use your work (ie how to spell your name and/or any funny self imposed titles).
• Deadline for submissions is December 1st 2016. Submissions are still being accepted.

Media can be shared with our Dropbox account (user name: QCFORC | email: webdirector@qcforc.org) or other arrangements can be made (USB drive transfer, CD, FTP, etc.) Please share your media in a folder, not as individual files, titled with your name (ie "John Doe Photos"). We're looking forward to seeing what you can dig up!

Thanks to everyone who has already submitted photos! We still need more older images if you can dig them up (2007 and before would be great). The slideshow will premier at the Chili Cookoff and Membership Drive on January 14th which is just under 8 weeks away!

We are currently combing through the photos and videos submitted. Great stuff! Thank you! If you have stuff that you want to be considered for the 20th Anniversary video, please get in touch so we may arrange data transfer. Limit your submission to your BEST MATERIAL. Arrange by year if at all possible (we are going to try and make the video chronological through the years) and label your photos/videos so we have an idea where/when taken. I can tell you, just going through the material thus far has been fun -- a walk down memory lane. Seeing all you fabulous crazies in your element is awesome!!
