The Annual Calendar Photographic Competition 2026

With spring upon us the competition to generate photographs for the 2027 village calendar is drawing closer. This popular competition will soon be taking place again.

As usual we welcome photographs taken in recent years, reflecting any of the 12 months of the year, representing our beautiful parish and our thriving community. These may include scenic views, architectural and natural features, street scenes and any seasonal or unusual aspects of the parish. Community events or celebrations and other society activities would also be appreciated.

The images should be recognisable as being in Nayland or Wissington. (Please remember that while shots of magnificent birds soaring overhead, cute animals in a field or spectacular skies are impressive they could be taken anywhere.) So please capture something familiar in the background.

As usual the competition will be open to residents of the Nayland with Wissington parish, and those who work in the parish or are active participants in parish societies/organisations. There is no age limit and we would love to have more entries from young people, the aim is to make it an enjoyable community project

Deadline for receiving entries will be Monday 20th April

Further details are available here - please check this for rules and submission criteria.

The display of photographs will be available to view online via www.naylandandwiston.net from 24th April to 26th April for viewers to vote on their favourites. The 12 most popular photographs will be announced on 7th May and will be included in the 2027 calendar.
