The following photos are our 2nd Annual Calendar Photo Winners! Congratulations! I will be assembling the photos to send in to Costco for printing and at that time I will ask for their recommendation on how to feature a collage of all the photos submitted to the contest (no promises though). The calendar pre-order form will also be going up soon, so check back for that!
If your photo was one of the winners, please send the full sized, 6+ megapixel original to my email address, josh @ tortoiseforum.org.

So, how is it determined which tortoise is on which month (and the cover)? Congrats to all the winners! I will need to work on getting a better Trevor picture for next year as we were quite disappointing this time around. :( The new camera is a good start though.

As I started to holler YEAH! Cuz we have the winner and now we need to pick the months we want; and then the realization crashed to the frontal part of my brain...Holy cow! Can you imagine the fighting over months. I want Bob to be May. That's my birth month. Can you see the fight that ensues over who gets what month...How do we solve that?:cool:

I think it was said that the one with the most votes gets to pick first. I am not sure what they are going to do for ties though.

I thought Josh was going to pick (start stuffing those cash envelopes as gifts)!;)

Maybe he should put the months in a hat and then pick them out one by one and assign that month to successive contestants.:D

Makes sense to me that #1 gets 1st choice, #2 gets 2nd choice, etc.
Great pictures
