Important Prize Details
Photoshoot Requirement: To ensure the highest print quality for our 2027 edition, the Grand Prize and People's Choice winners will sit for a new professional color portrait before October 2026.

However, submitted photos must meet specific quality and resolution standards required for the calendar cover. If these standards cannot be met, an alternate prize may be awarded.
