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.

We would like to wish Emma and all of you Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas!

Emma talked about having a proper Christmas during the press junket interviews for Deathly Hallows.

“We have a proper log wood fire in my living room that really gets me in the Christmas mood. And we have mince pies. That’s a very English thing. If you’ve never tried one, mince pies are absolutely delicious. You must have a mince pie.”

“We always watch really good Christmas-y films by Richard Curtis like ‘Love Actually,’ ‘Bridget Jones’ and ‘Notting Hill’ or old BBC dramas like ‘Pride and Prejudice.’ I always play Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby’s Christmas album which is great … I curl up with my cats. I’m a cat person.”

Emma recently posted on her facebook that she was back in the UK filming the reshoots of the epilogue at Leavesden. Later, other cast members confirmed that shooting was finished. So that’s it then, the end. At least that leaves Emma free to enjoy Christmas with family and friends. Let’s hope the snowy weather cooperates.

And I agree, mince pies are the best!

Alberta Ferretti has sent out a little teaser about the new collection in collaboration with Emma Watson. It promises new details soon.

A good idea: Part of the proceeds will go to the People Tree Foundation.

A natural inspiration: The colours of the collection are three non colours.

A cool and crisp feeling: The collection is made of organic cotton.

I’ve switched to a different news system on the site. I’ve done some quick checking and so far it looks good. If you notice any problems, please leave a comment.

Reminder: The deadline for the Christmas project is December 22.

Time to get started on the January Calendar Competition.

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

Hey, it’s a little late, but we’ve decided to do a Christmas project. To be honest, I thought that with Emma on facebook there wouldn’t be much interest, since it is so easy to send her messages there. But a number of people have asked, and it has been a tradition since we opened. So, we’re going ahead with a simple Christmas card with your holiday wishes. You can send in messages, stories, poems, artwork, photos, whatever you want to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and we’ll include it if we can. The deadline will be December 22.
