2025 Calendar Photo Contest

From now through August 31, 2024, we will be accepting photo submissions from members for inclusion in our 2025 calendar. They will be judged by the executive in September and the winners announced shortly thereafter. The winners will have their photo posted in one of the 12 months as it corresponds to the season and have bragging rights, so be sure to capture for the entire year. We anticipate that the calendar will be available at the AGM in November.

CLASSES

Maximum 2 submissions per class

We need pictures to cover every month so that each is represented with beauty, therefore we have created the following four classes to hopefully ensure a broad representation. We have provided suggestions to give you an idea of what we would like to see however, it is not an exhaustive list, so use your imagination but be sure that each one embodies the sense of the season and most of all, have fun.

Class 1: Spring. Showing the renewal of the year with spring buds, early flowering plants, burgeoning blossoms, early morning dew or mist off the river

Class 2: Summer. so many options with sunny blue skies or cool woodlands where growth and colour abounds

Class 3: Fall. gorgeous fall colours and crispness of the air, falling leaves and scurrying critters among the brush

Class 4: Winter. what better to show winter than with snowy trees, winter trails and sleeping gardens
