At midnight UTC on November 2nd, 2009 (unix time 1257120000), the entries will be closed and voting will begin. Voting will be handled by the membership at large, and how to do that will be explained when voting begins.

On November 16th, the voting will close and the winners will be announced! Best of Show voting will shortly thereafter take place.

Just like previous years, we'll be making calendars using the winners from each category. By entering a photo in the contest, you are hereby agreeing that we can use that photo in the calendar.
