Each member will be allowed to choose UP TO FIVE images to vote for. You may choose 2, you may choose 5 but you may not choose 6. Carefully weigh your choices as there will be no vote altering of any kind. You will need to enter your selections all at once. For instance, you cannot vote for one today and four others tomorrow.
Voting will begin today (October 27) and continue through to November 7th at 11:59pm PST.
You may view the full image sizes on the Contest Submissions Thread.
To keep the contest fair and to eradicate problems with cheating that we had last year, only members registered on or BEFORE October 21, 2009 will have their votes counted.
Once you click "Vote!" your selections have been submitted.
Any questions can be directed to me via PM or in this thread.

Josh why only 5? This is way too hard. Only 5 votes there were a lot of others that I wanted to vote for and I couldn't. I hope they all end up on the calendar somewhere. That was very difficult for me. :(

Yeah, why only 5? I thought there were 12 months in the year, plus the cover picture. I want 13 votes! I will cry! I will hold my breath till I turn blue! Only 5 is unfair!:(

365 days in a year, 24 hours in a day, 12 months in a calendar year, and 5 votes for the tortoise calendar contest...
Some of us would like to vote for every photo submitted, but that wouldn't help us select the BEST photos, would it...?

I agree...I needed a few more votes, too.

Are you going to print smaller copies of the ones that don't make the 13 highest votes on a separate page? I think that was a great idea!
PLEASE!!!

It would be AWESOME if all the ones that don't win could be put together into a collage on another page..

Perhaps the cover can be the collage of every picture entered!!!
Good luck everyone!

Ok I looked at Costco and they can't-won't print on the back of the calender So it is 13 pics whether one is a collage or not. But only 13 pages with pics. though each calendar date square could have a small pic of torts on it but they would be pretty tiny. I've let Josh know this info and we will see. Perhaps next year if not this.

Good luck to everyone who entered. :)

OMG it was sooo hard to pick 5 pictures. They are all beautiful!!!
Good luck everyone :D
Robyn, I love the idea of having the non winner pics in the small square, at least, everyone's tortoise could be in the calendar :D. Like one for the big days per exemple 1 of july, Xmas, new year, easter...

I'm probably missing the obvious, but where do you order the calender at?
