A new photo of Emma by Harry Crowder has appeared. The photoshoot took place on December 30 in Emma’s home according to a tweet on Crowders twitter. Thanks to all who emailed.

The February Calendar Competition has now started.

• 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 February 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 January 28.
• No more than 3 entries per person please. All entries must be sent to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com

People Tree‘s online magazine has two new pictures of Emma visiting Fair Trade producer Swallows in Bangladesh. Emma was there last summer to see how Fair Trade can really make a difference in people’s lives, and got some hands on experience in the production of her Spring/Summer 2011 collaboration coming out soon.

Update: One more picture

The People’s Choice Awards airs tonight on CBS at 9/8C. Emma is nominated in the Favorite Movie Star Under 25 category. Good luck, Emma!

I haven’t heard anything about Emma attending, but I’ll be recording it just in case. People have asked about watching it online. The red carpet will be streamed live on the People’s Choice site, but I don’t know about the award ceremony itself.

So, it’s a new year. Time to look at what you’ve done in the past year. Take pride in accomplishments and learn from failures. Time to think about how you can make the next year better.

I am biased of course but I think Emma-Watson.net is a great site with a great group of fans, but I also know it can be better. There are a number of things I hoped to do this past year but there was never enough time. I have plans for this year that  I know will never get done unless we have more help. And so, we are looking for people to join the Emma-Watson.net team.

First up, we are looking for one or more newsposters. Applicants should be good at finding news. They should be able to communicate reasonably well in English and have good writing skills. Basic knowledge of HTML and CSS would be a bonus, as would experience with wordpress, but not required. If you are interested, send an email to emmawatson.source@gmail.com telling us a bit about yourself including age, country, why you want to join EW.net and if you have worked on other websites or write an example news post if you haven’t. Also include other skills you think might be useful for the site, such as other languages, good at graphics, website design, other experience at writing, etc.

We are also interested in individuals who can help us build up our image gallery. Send an email to emmawatson.source@gmail.com if you think you can help.

Finally, if you have ideas of other ways you could help the site, send us an email to that same address and tell us about your idea and some information about yourself.

All positions at Emma-Watson.net are volunteer. Please don’t apply unless you have time to contribute to the site.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your holidays.

Time to change the calendar to January. Congratulations to Julieta, our first calendar competition winner of 2011!

Honorable mentions go to Marie, Kathy, Thea, Lita, Lita again and Marta. Thank you to everyone that entered, and thank you to all who voted.

All the competition entries can be viewed here.

The new year is almost here. Let’s choose our first calendar for 2011.  Gosh, it’s strange writing that.

Remember, you only get to vote one time. Do not vote multiple times from different emails, and do not ask your friends to come and vote on your calendar. Let’s keep the competition fair.

Please make sure you write your choices in the order you like them. Your favorite should be first, then next favorite, etc.

1. View the calendars here. Click on the thumbnails to see a larger preview image. Take your time, make sure you scroll all the way to the end and check out all the calendars.
2. Choose your favorite 5 calendars, and write down their numbers in order, from best to 5th place. You don’t have to choose 5, you can vote for just one if you like, but you can vote for 5.
3. Send your vote in an email to emmawatson.contest@gmail.com or in a PM to me on the forums to dookdookdook.

Voting is open through January 1, 00:00 GMT.

Good luck everyone!

Emma was photographed earlier this year by Mariano Vivanco with the photos appearing in a variety of magazines. We now have images from the shoot in UHQ. These are not dialup friendly. Update: The thumbnails were supposed to link to the gallery. Fixed now.
