We had our first calendar competition way back in 2006, starting with the month of October. Before that, the site’s monthly calendars had been made by Marta, one of our staff members. I don’t recall who first suggested having the fans compete, but it turned out to be a good idea. Now, five years later, we’ve had nearly 2600 entries.
When we started with fan voting two years ago, all entries for each month were added to the site of course, so people could see them to vote. This was also a way for everyone to show their work, not just the winners. I have felt that was unfair to the earlier competitors from the first three years, and so I have added the other entries in all the competitions going back to that first one. Some entries have been lost, especially from 2006, but most of them were found. You can see all the old competitions linked from here under Calendar Competitions, and you can see a gallery of all the past winners here.
Thank you to all the competitors for all the wonderful calendars you have sent in over the past 5 years. I hope you have enjoyed participating even if you never won.
Without further ado, the October calendar competition is now open.
- The size of the calendar should be at least 1024×768. Higher resolutions are good. Widescreen is also allowed.
- Calendars must be in a common graphics format such as jpg, tiff, gif or png.
- It must have Emma-Watson.net and October and it should have the dates. It should be mostly original work, and images used should be respectful of Emma’s privacy.
- The deadline to submit calendars is September 27.
- No more than 3 entries per person please. All entries must be sent to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com
Congratulations! 5 years? wow, time flies! 🙂
5 years already :O omg time does fly, jesus.
i really like the fact that you’ve decided to share all the past calendar entries with us. Im sure they’ll be truly grateful for this 🙂
I love the calendars. I’m a graphic designer, so I like looking at everyone’s creativity. I also won once, so that help! I think that may have been before voting though, I can’t remember. When I first started reading this post, I was scared you were going to say you were stopping! Glad to hear it’s more alive than ever!
It’s hard to believe so much time has passed. I must say you guys have all made great calendars over the past 5 years. I look forward to seeing more amazing calendars throughout the next 5 years and beyond. 🙂
2600 entries – one of them is from me 😀
Well Done for Five Years! What a Amazing! 😀 Well Done! And Good Luck for your Calendars design in October! xx 😀
I really love the calendar competition that it is going on each month. And I wish good luck to all the competitors who are making the calendars for this month. I simply cannot wait to vote.

Emma is a wonderful model. “Super Model” One might say. Also there is a new poll at MTV where emma is nominated for upcoming young star, cream of the crop president. I just voted so show your support for Emma if you’re a fan and vote for “Emma for president” at MTV. 🙂
