Shortly before he died, Robert Jordan put a call out to fans to submit original pieces of artwork. From those submissions, he personally chose the winners to appear in the calendar.

Here is the official press release from Tor:

Last spring, Robert Jordan announced a competition on his blog (

www.dragonmount.com/RobertJordan) where artists would have the opportunity to submit original artwork based on the Wheel of Time© for inclusion in a 2009 calendar.

He wrote, "I know there is some really professional quality work because I have seen it. Style doesnâ€™t matter in this. Manga, hyper-realism, current cover-art. Whatever. Anything and everything is acceptable as a possibility. It will be the quality that counts, not the style. If you want to try it the way you think Rembrandt would have done it, go for it."

The competition ran from Tuesday, May 22nd through Wednesday, August 15th, and the initial judging was conducted under the supervision of a panel of judges from several popular Wheel of Time© websites including:

Robert Jordan personally conducted the final judging and selected the 12 images that appear in the 2009 WHEEL OF TIME© calendar just a few days before he passed away on September 16th, 2007, from the rare blood disease, amyloidosis. The pieces chosen symbolize the devotion that readers have to Robert Jordan and to the rich world he created.

They are (in alphabetical order):
