RE: Motion to approve Calendar Guidelines

Ha!
I have a picture - taken on December 1st- of my everblooming Japanese iris 'Midnight Fireworks' in full bud.
We cut it the day before a "killing frost" arrived and had flowers indoors almost until Christmas.
There is an Unguicularis (Donbt know where I got it?) that started blooming in early November and just got buried in the January snow.
Very impressive dark flowers. Very floriferous and with good substance. Good grower in acid soils???
These could be candidates?
I took bouqueis of reblooming medians to the local Garden center in September and replaced them about every 4 or 5 days.
Bare root rhyzomes sold like "hot cakes".
Where do I send the pictures.?

In order to promote reblooming Irises it would be great to see blooming clumps in a landscape that actually says autumn. For example someone might put a pumpkin next to a clump, or a chrysanthemum or autumn leaves. All sorts of possibilities. But if we really want to promote rebloomers we should have some graphics that tell the story. I do not like too many rules, I am not sure about guidelines. If the calender doesn't want that type of picture I sure would like to see it on the wiki, especially in the very weak rebllooming area of the wiki.

I think all good but on number 14 I still like reblooming irises be depicted in September and October if possible.  In the future I'll try to take pictures of irises blooming in the fall too.

This appears to be a good adaptation of the Calendar Criteria  committee's recommendations.

Michelle Snyder  moved and John Jones seconded the below motion.  As such, it is now out  for discussion.

"AIS CALENDAR GUIDELINES
1. The  Calendar committee should consist of a chairman appointed by the AIS president  and a minimum of three other members, one of whom is a member of the AIS Board  (officer or director) and one of whom is the Manager of the AIS Storefront.  Additional committee members may be added at the discretion of the committee  chair.

2. Quotes are to be obtained from the printer no later than  October 15th. 
Right now we are using Sundance Press but in the future it may  change. It must be submitted by the AIS Storefront manager at the fall Board  of Directorbs meeting the year prior to the calendar going to  press.

3. Drafting of the calendar is to begin November and finished  mid December to be sent to printers no later than February 1st. The calendars  must be in the hands of the AIS Storefront no later than March 1st of any  given year. (AIS Storefront manager has many places he must send the front  image of the calendar to in the month of December.)

4. All picture  candidates for the Calendar should be reviewed by the entire  committee.

5. All photos used are to have supporting copyright approval  from photographer if not already provided.

6. All pictures must be  about the Genus Iris family and may be from any time frame or year.

7.  Any photo may be changed for selection decision and appropriateness.

8.  Candidate pictures must be original work and may be made by anyone, but  preference should be for submittals by AIS Photo Contest; then AIS member submissions if/when appropriate.

9. Subject matter must be high  resolution of 300 dpi as required by the printing industry.

10. The  Iris subject depicted must be free of damage, with no visible tears (even if  natural), holes, disease, etc., in focus (considering depth of
field) with the  exception in an bartisticb category.

11. Scenic photos, garden  photos, natural setting or field photos shall be considered per calendar issue  but not to be overly used. (Garden pictures often have other flowers as well  as irises. Companion plantings are of great interest to a lot of gardeners. As  long as pictures are predominantly about Irises they should be acceptable for  the calendar.)

12. Close up shots may be considered but not  recommended.

13. Any named varieties currently in the AIS Awards  process are not acceptable. (AIS is neutral regarding the AIS Award candidates and we do not provide free varietal promotion.)

14. It is recommended  that the month of September depict Reblooming Irises.

15. The Calendar  Committee should strive for balance between Iris types to showcase our Iris  diversity.

16. The proposed contract for printing will be  submitted/approved at the Fall Board meeting.  The Calendar Chair is  delegated to sign the approved contract for printing.

17. The Calendar  committee is the final approving authority for the calendar.

18. The  funds for printing were provided by the Greater Portland Iris Society and  recovered by calendar sales as set forth by the Board of Directors approved  motion."
