Wow! :exploding-head I have trouble putting it into words just how much this means to me. I’ve had a very difficult year. This does more to lift my spirits than I could have imagined. Really, it means a lot. I put so much effort into taking photos for this years calendar contest that it feels incredibly fulfilling to have that effort rewarded in this way!

I give my deepest thanks to Spyderco and I am so grateful that they give us this unique opportunity each year. It is a great honor to have my photo chosen as a winner and represented in the Forum Calendar, even more so as the cover photo. I’ll be overjoyed to see the final calendar in print! To top it all off, the grand prize is mind blowing this year and impossible to ignore. It’s going to be a pleasure putting all of it to use. :respect :bug-red

Congratulations to all the winners! :1stplace: :confetti :party-face
This is going to be another fantastic Spyderco Calendar.

Congrats everyone! Incredible photos this year. Especially Mushroom! Well deserved. Extremely creative idea and you nailed it.

I am in shock. Thank you Spyderco for giving us this opportunity. And thanks to everyone behind the scenes that work to coordinate events like this for us. I'm sure there is a mountain of work that you all do that we do not get to see.
