There is no available are on the back cover to add photos. The template doesn't allow for it. It's the same reason there are no horizontal lines on the calendar. I'm stuck with it. Lulu.com is the best services I've found with price and logistics.
Never used Lulu. When I had my MINI Cooper S the MINI club did MINI of the month. The winner got to have their photo for that month in the year end calendar. I was scrambling to get them the image needed after winning for the month of December. I don't recall the pricing and I am loathe to recommend anything from this company normally, but the girl putting it together used Apple's printing services. Looks like $20 per calendar now, no idea if there's a discount for bulk orders. What I will say though is that the quality was absolutely top notch. Image quality and paper thickness as well as the binding were far better than what I've seen elsewhere.
Not trying to persuade you away, but if you find yourself shopping around, I can provide first hand knowledge on that particular product.
What I like about Lulu is that I don't have to buy a quantity up front. They sell them individually so I'm not on the hook for anything. I bump up the price a $1 to cover the cost of the winner's free calendar.
Contest ends today, so if you're ranked, let me know what month you'd like. Priority goes to the highest ranked.

I have no preference regarding month placement. I am just super excited to have a picture worthy of being included in this calendar.
I cannot thank DesignFlaw06 enough for this opportunity. I just glanced to my right as I typed this and there was Extrememarine leaned over and looking good on his Gen1. When I get to my office at work tomorrow, that same pic will be on that same calendar above my desk there.
I am in for 3 calendars again this year. Because Pop will need one too.

Never run out of real estate, traction and ideas all at the same time.
I echo Redfish's sentiments. I just don't want June, July, or August. Those are months I am not in my classroom. Another good idea by Redfish is to buy more than one Calendar. One for the office and one for the garage.
Thanks Tim.
I often have found myself when I was not looking, nor did that discovery take place where I thought it would!
Wayne's picture in this month's (Dec. 2017) calendar is hands down my favorite from this year. Whether he meant to or not, Tim saved the best for last.
In that light, I'd like to suggest Redfish's for December 2018. I felt it was the best photo, and apparently most of us agreed.
Otherwise, I have no preference and I'm honored to be chosen as well.

I've got artwork started. Shouldn't take too long to finish up, hopefully by today. If your name is listed above, tell me what month you want or be placed at my mercy. Hope you guys are happy with the end result.
OK guys, here it goes. These are not in the order they will be on the calendar, just the reverse order of the rankings for the moment.
Please look for any errors, spelling mistakes, etc. It's very easy for me to miss a detail here or there. Any critiques need to be may soon as I want to get the calendar published ASAP.
The reason there was a collage of photos last year was because of Don Stanley. That picture resolution was too low to give him a full page. This year was also true with Petey, so I gave him the cover. Some of the other submissions that either didn't make the top #12 or couldn't be entered from a resolution standpoint are on there as well.
Another great collection of shots. And very fitting to have Petey front and center. Lots of great moments captured in all of the submissions.
When 2017 wraps, I'll be posting up photos of my calendar with my stickers on each day ridden. Looking forward to flipping each page next year and filling in even more days.
Tim, thanks again for all the work you put into this.

I know there was way more work involved than you let on and we can be a painful bunch. Thanks for such a cool idea and bringing it to fruition.
I would suggest one more thing. Raise the price a buck or two to cover the calendar to cover yours. This is the least we could do for all your hard work. Maybe I am speaking out of turn for everyone else, but I doubt it. Fine Job.
