By "the first Entry of the month" getting an extra 5 points - do you mean the first entry submitted? I assume so but wanted to be sure.
Assuming that is so I would suggest maybe starting that bonus next month as there was no hint that speed was an issue at all?
Also, since points awarded from first to last place, do you have a plan on if people tie? Be it if two tie for first or three for last or whatever? I'd suggest the easy solution of adding all the point (first place and second place points if tied for first) and dividing by number of those tied.. Run off voting just seems overly cumbersome.

It's just a little bonus to being first to support this year's contest with a submission. And for future months, it's an added incentive to not wait until the last minute.|

For ties, they will get the full amount of points for their place. 3 people tie for second would all get 9 points, then the next place would be fifth place and get 6 points.
Damn I was going to enter, thought the month ended next week, but I guess with the zodiac, January ended 10 days early.
Oh well.
I'll cast my vote.

You can always jump in for April. I believe it's always been 3 weeks for submissions and 1 week for voting.

Well I missed this. Missread it totally. Thought it was the 30th. 
However, I read now... and clearly that date is for voting. My bad.
Whoops!
Anyway, If I'm allowed to vote...

A bit of a repetitive post given RDH above, but:
1. Henri - nice story
2. CR
3. TBA
That last vote is not 'to be announced'.

It shouldn't affect your voting because I didn't get it finished before the deadline, but for those curious here is my finished entry.

@RDH: Voting is open to everyone on the forums you haven't missed anything. If you mean you missed the deadline for entry, there will be two other late berths (1st in April and again in August) so you still have a couple chances to get in. Also there is no reason you cannot post up art month by month anyway until then, you just won't earn any points.|

Your vote doesn't count unless you vote for 3 different people.
Oh, I completely forgot to mention this. I had been planning on giving out an additional reward to each month's winner. 10 million inf sent through in game gleemail.

I'm just glad to see some votes go that way.

Thanks everyone for their submissions. I was a little bit less strict with some of the rules in order to allow as many contestants as possible who wanted to participate. We have 9 people entered, and there will be no eliminations until June - with the exception of "failure to enter". Also, just to give you a heads up, next month's theme will be "Ice".
The Voting
Anyone can vote.
Everyone must vote for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice.
1st choice will count as 3 votes, 2nd choice will count as 2 votes, and 3rd choice will count as 1 vote.
Voting will be open until Sunday night January 30th at midnight Eastern time.
The Points
Everyone gets 10 points for entering.
After the voting is completed, the entrant who got the most votes will get 10 additional points, Second place will get 9 points, Third will get 8 points, etc.
The first entry of the month also receives an additional 5 points.
These points will come into play starting in June.
The winner will also get 10 million inf sent to them in-game through Gleemail.
