First, I need to make sure everyone understands. Only ONE winner member across all categories. So my first task was to find the highest 3 rated pictures in each category that were from different members.
Once that was done, I looked for people who had won in more that one category. If someone won it 2 categories, their highest winner was kept and other eliminated. If they won in 2 categories at the same level, then I made the decision which one was eliminated, usually eliminating the one was entered in a category that had more entries from different people.
Based on the above eliminations, empty positions were filled by moving every picture in that category up.
This was a circular process and I did several iterations until we got the final placements.
Finally, I need each winner to send me a PM telling me the version of the real name that they want on the picture. For instance, I would use Steve Coles, not Stephen C. Coles. Your last name MUST be used. Also, your city of residence will be used. If you are not willing to have these 2 pieces of information in the calendar, then your picture will not appear.
After I move the winners into the new cats that I will be creating, please make sure that usable description of the project is included.
So now finally the WINNERS:

Disclaimer said:The announced winners will receive their prize money and every reasonable effort will made for the picture to be in the calendar. That means that it is still possible that a winning picture will not make it.
When I actually compose the calendar, I may find that a picture is out of focus or has blemishes that show up when enlarged to printing size. I already see a few pictures that may be that way. I can do some things that may help in those cases. However, if I can't, I'll try to substitute another picture from that person in the same category.
