Whether something fit the template was proving to be too subjective, so we decided not to disqualify any entries based on how well they fit the template.

If you want to see how your entries look in the template, you can see them here:
2026 Calendar Side by Side

Entries will be disqualified if:

• There is a person or body part that cannot be cropped out
• The picture is a screenshot
• It's not a chicken
• The picture is too small

You can see the status of your entries here:
