Voting will start on September 2nd and close at 6:00 PM on September 13th. There looks like a lot of great entries. It is going to be tough to pick a winner. Remember you can only vote once in each category and you can not vote for your own.
So everyone knows what the winners will receive. The winner of each monthly category will receive a $50.00 gift certificate from one of our fine sponsors. The winner of the cover contest will receive a $100.00 Klingspor gift certificate. All winners will also receive one free calendar.
GOOD LUCK!!!!

GOOD LUCK!!!! Not sure I understand that Scott "once in each category" does that mean we just look at all the pics entered in that category and vote for the winner and not appraise the others? In the past we just voted 1 - 10 on each picture irrespective of category - is this year going to be different?

David, I will defer this to Jim (Froglips). This is the same software we have used before so I might have misspoken.

One vote per Category is how Photopost Contest software works.
For Example:
2010 Calendar Contest - Turning - Pens / Pencils - 2010 Calendar Contest
In the Category "Pens / Pencils - 2010 Calendar Contest", you will find the thumbnail pics of the entries you can vote upon.
I believe the 1-10 voting from last year was part of custom work done tied into the Rating System. I wasn't involved in last years contest.
It is much easier on us to use the photopost contest solution. Not that what we've setup was easy, how about less extremely complex? 
If there is a desire to rate all the entries, I'd ask we add that to the 2011 contest.
Jim

Yep..that sure sounds like a problem. Just create two new categories from what you have. Like "best of the best" and "first runner-up".

It looks to me like there are 12 categories. There are 3 in Turning, 4 in Flatwork, 2 in Artistic, and 3 in Other. According to my shop math, that's 12. The Cover category makes 13.

Matt You are correct Matt 
I did not count what was below "Cover" entries. Some how the idea of a picture of a manufactured antique tool on the calendar just don't seem to fit to me for a calendar that I thought was to showcase handcrafted work of the members of North Carolina Woodworker. I guess I had a mental block there. .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)") No offense intended to anyone.

Just had a very frustrating time trying to vote on the calendar. The next image/previous image buttons seem to pull random images to display and not necessarily all of them before showing the end symbols. I thought I had seen them all, but when going back to the thumbnail view I saw another image that had not shown and that became my eventual winner.

David, I fixed the sort display order. It was set to Random.
Now I know what that setting does
