December voting runs one year behind to allow us to have our calendar ready for purchase before the end of the calendar year.

So for example:

December 2010 photos will not be voted on until fall 2011 and the winner of that vote will be the December crab for the 2012 calendar that will go on sale December 2011. This new set up began December 2010.

Non participation months:

If there is a month where no photos are entered, random photos will be selected by the CSJ

admin from previous entries to fill the vacant spots.

Cover crab:

The photo for the cover of the annual calendar is also chosen by vote. All of the monthly winners will be entered in the year end voting, including the December winner.

Merchandise:

The winner of Cover Crab is awarded with a free copy of the calendar. Anyone may purchase a copy of their own from our Cafepress store.

Items featuring individual winners will be available for sale as well. You can request your photo on a specific item by contacting CSJ Admin.
