https://www.thenewx.org/forum/59-gr...org-calendars-ends-12-5-18-a.html#post4250770
Updated to start the tracking for the 2020 Calendar
Old Background:
The format will remain the same, for example, the 2020 Calendar will have:
Cover: 2018 TOTY Winner
Jan-Nov: Respective 2019 Monthly TOTM Winners
Dec: 2018 Dec TOTM Winner (This is done so the calendars can be produced and mailed in Dec, otherwise they wouldn’t be done until Feb.)
The following is my tentative yearly schedule (which may change as things develop):
All Year: Each month after a winner is announced, request a hi-res copy of the winning photo
Oct 15 – Oct 31: Request supplemental favorites from winners (request 2 week turnaround Due by Oct 31)
Nov x: Request full size pics and 3-4 other favorites from Nov winner (request a fast turnaround)
Nov 15: Goal date to have a completed 90% Proof (wont know Nov winner yet) and post pics
Nov 15 – Dec 5th: Open Group Buy. If you want a calendar, payment must be received by Dec 5th.
Dec ~5th: Get winning photo from November Poll
Dec ~6th: Order calendars from printer
Dec 15-20 (hopefully): Receive calendars from printer and ship to those who bought one
Dec 20-31: USPS delivering to members
Jan 1: Hang new calendar on wall
Updates will follow in October when sales season nears.

Hello friends,
For years now Chase “IZVERG” has made the Annual thenewx.org Calendars. This was really great while he was a very active member, but he sold his X years ago and hasn’t been active here in many years. Every year he has been kind enough to put these together still, but understandably it has been very last minute, and some things like soliciting sponsors stopped occurring due to lack of time which made costs go up and order numbers go down etc… While I greatly appreciate and am thankful for all he has done, I think that it is time to pass the torch.
Moving forward starting with next year’s calendar (2018) I’m going to undertake this effort. I will be running a more progressive schedule with the goal of having these in people’s hands by January 1st. I’m also going to work to bring back supporting sponsors to try to lower costs. I am not doing this to try to make a profit. I’m doing this contribute to the community.
The format will remain the same, for example, the 2020 Calendar will have:
Cover: 2018 TOTY Winner
Jan-Nov: Respective 2019 Monthly TOTM Winners
Dec: 2018 Dec TOTM Winner (This is done so the calendars can be produced and mailed in Dec, otherwise they wouldn’t be done until Feb.)
