THE CONTEST HAS BEEN UP AND RUNNING FOR A COUPLE DAYS NOW, AND WE'VE CAUTIONED YOU TO BE SURE TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ENTERING. THE MOST IMPORTANT INSTRUCTION IS:

- The photo original must be at least 5 megapixels, so that it can be printed at an 8.5"x11" size. Your photo will be thrown out if it does not meet this requirement. (To find megapixels, multiply the length of your image, in pixels, by the height. ex. an 2592 x 1936 pixel image is roughly 5 megapixels.) This is important because small digital photos cannot be blown up and still look nice.

QUITE A FEW OF YOU ARE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO THAT REQUIREMENT.

IF YOU DON'T KNOW THE MEGAPIXELS OF YOUR CAMERA, THEN ASK SOMEONE WHO DOES KNOW. YOUR PICTURES ARE NOT GOING TO MAGICALLY SLIP BY AND BE ACCEPTED IF THEY ARE WRONG, AND IT TAKES UP TIME THAT WE DON'T HAVE TO BE CHECKING ALL THESE PICTURES THAT DON'T QUALIFY.

PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T SEND PICTURES UNLESS THEY ARE 5 MEGAPIXELS OR LARGER!

(Note to everyone: Pictures are made up of tiny dots. The dots are arranged in such a manner that they end up looking like a picture. When we try to enlarge a picture with a small number of dots it ends up looking like a blurry mess. The calendar submission pictures are taken off the computer and blown up to fit the 8.5 x 11 inch format of the calendar. We want all the pictures on the calendar to be beautiful. Can you imagine turning the page from the end of August to the first of September and having September's blurry picture staring you in the face every single day of September?

Get it?)
