Honey, Sundaram and Sabine’s photos will not be in the calendar. But you’ll see them on social media.
Winners (and those that pre-ordered) will be mailed a copy of the calendar.
With the visitor center still being closed, the exhibition of photos is unlikely to take place.
Thank you all for your support and we hope the contest helped remind you of the beauty and diversity of the Santa Monica Mountains as well as your own backyard, particularly during this difficult time.
