Happy New Year everyone! I hope all of you had a good 2009, and that 2010 will be even better.

Let’s start the year off with the new calendar. Congratulations to Rebecca, winner of the January calendar competition!

Honorable mentions go to Roxien, Jaclyn, Katarina and Ilonab. Thank you to everyone that entered, and thank you to all who voted.

  
All the competition entries can be viewed here.

We haven’t posted any scans for a while, so here we go.

Elmira sent in scans from the Russian magazines Glamour, Elle, Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle and L’Officiel

Kay sent us a scan from US Weekly.

The German magazine One had a special Harry Potter issue last July which I don’t think we’ve posted before. Kim sent us scans of an interview with Emma, a poster, and a set report.

Thank you all for sending in the scans.

Emma Watson is #15 on Entertainment Weekly 20 Knockout Dresses of the 00’s for the vintage Ossie Clark dress she wore to the London Half-Blood Prince premiere. Thanks Angela for the tip.

InStyle let us know that Emma is on their 100 Best Dresses of the Decade for the gold Burberry dress she wore during London Fashion Week. “You don’t want to overdress or dress beyond your years on the red carpet. I love that this dress is so kicky and young!”

Time to get the voting started! It will be the same as last month. You only get to vote one time, but you get to vote for more than one calendar. Here’s how it goes:

1. View the calendars here. Click on the thumbnails to see a larger preview image. Take your time.
2. Choose your favorite 5 calendars, and write down their numbers in order, from best to 5th place, like 84, 216, 114, … You don’t have to choose 5, you can vote for just one if you like, but you can vote for 5. (no, there aren’t 216 entries, those are fake numbers).
3. Send your vote in an email to emmawatson.contest@gmail.com or in a PM to me on the forums, dookdookdook.

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

Good luck everyone!

From all of us at Emma-Watson.net, we wish Emma and all of you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

The Christmas project for Emma is now online. You will need Acrobat reader to view the project and I suggest viewing in full screen mode (Ctrl-L). Thank you to everyone who participated. If the file doesn’t open, right click this link and save the file to your computer and then open it directly with your PDF viewer.

EmmaWatsonOfficial has been updated with a new Christmas Mini Site. There is a video message from Emma, new photos and other content, and you can send her a holiday message.

Emma Watson and People Tree are giving you the opportunity to ask Emma a question about her passion for Fair Trade Fashion. Take a video of yourself asking your question and email the MPEG file to askemma@peopletree.co.uk . Emma will answer in video a selection of the best questions. Click the thumb below or go here for more information.

A new picture of Emma Watson at the Burberry show during London Fashion Week has been released on Interview magazine’s site in an article by Derek Blasberg. I Measure Time By Fashion Weeks features a photo he took of Emma and Caroline Sieber, as well as other celebrities, during recent fashion shows.

TeenVogue.com has selected Emma as one of the 20 Best Dressed Celebrities for 2009. “In a classic Burberry trench or a sci-fi inspired Rodarte frock, it’s no question that this Harry Potter star has the ability to pull off her versatile wardrobe.”

Emma is also on TeenVogue.com’s Top 20 Most Searched Celebrities.

We have a new photo from Interview magazine of Emma on the set of Deathly Hallows. Derek Blasberg took this photo of  Emma and his friend Lyle Maltz on a visit to the set. We’ve seen a cropped version of this before of just Emma from the October issue of Interview, but they’ve now released a larger version. Thanks to Snitchseeker for the tip.

Another recent “picture” of Emma is a mosaic created by UK artist Prudence Emma Staite to promote the launch of Half-Blood Prince on  Virgin Media’s Media on Demand. Emma’s portrait is composed of ribbons, wrapping paper, bows and Christmas cards. The artist also created portraits of Dan and Rupert. Thanks to Emma,Sood for sending it in.

The holiday season is here. It’s a busy time and it’s easy to forget things, so here’s a quick reminder about the Christmas Project. The deadline is this Sunday if you would like to send something in. I will accept late submissions as long as I can, but you should try and send it in soon.

Ok, lets start the January calendar competition.

• The size of the calendar should be a minimum 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 January on it.
• The deadline to submit calendars is 00:00 GMT on December 28.
• No more than 3 entries per person please. All entries must be sent to emmawatson.graphics@gmail.com
• If you use hotmail or msn, please attach the picture to your email as a FILE, not a PICTURE. If you use picture, it will shrink the image to a small size.

I’ve added all the entries from the last three competitions to the Fans page under Fan Graphics.
