The aspect ratio of the final image is just as important as the total number of pixels. That can be altered by cropping, of course.
Yeah I see your point, but i think the sole reason for the rule is to get rid of any blurriness that will occur when the calendars gets printed. Hopefully my picture wont be omitted because of a few little pixels.
I actually went around to all my friends with cameras to see who's had the most memory per shot. The highest quality camera i could use was only capable of 7.1 megapixles. Not bad considering that I got my picture into the calendar last year with a 4.0 megapixle shot.
