Perfect. Should I crop it and re-enter it or will you guys be able to

Unless you are a seasoned photographer, no, let us do the cropping.

This chick's name was Francis...Or Patricia? I don't quite remember the name of this chick because there was another one that looked exactly like it.

It's a cute picture, but it cannot be cropped - this is what it looks like cropped:

I didn't take this pic specifically for this contest so when I took it I had it in a format that they could judge at the county fair.

Looking at your images I see that you take most in the portrait format. For the calendar, you want landscape.
