2026 Calendar competition NOW OPEN
We are accepting entries for the 2026 calendar - so get out with your cameras NOW and send your photos to us.
Please send an email to KandFCalendars@gmail.com with your entries attached, in high resolution. Maximum three images per entrant.
The closing date for submissions is 30th June 2025.
Entries will be judged anonymously by the Institute committee and selected by a show of hands.
Note: All photographs submitted become the property of the Kildwick and Farnhill Institute. They may be used on calendars in any future year.
Entries submitted in previous years and not used in a calendar MAY be resubmitted.
Guidelines
Every year we receive some lovely images that we have to reject for technical reasons. To try and avoid this, please read the guidelines below. Following these will give you a better chance of having your photo selected.
- Only scenes of the villages of Kildwick and Farnhill will be accepted
- Avoid “Photoshopping” or enhancing images
- Images should show publicly accessible areas only (No private gardens, please.)
- Please try to choose new locations and angles, particularly if you are submitting images of the main buildings in the village (e.g. the White Lion, the church, the pinnacle, and canal bridges)
- If featuring trees, please try to capture their full height
- Avoid excessive shadows or blank foregrounds
- Avoid unsightly phone/electric wires which might spoil the skyline
- It would help us if you can us when the photograph was taken (which month) and to suggest a title
Please note: The calendar is printed "landscape", so please frame your views to allow for this. Photos that do not meet this format will be cropped if possible and if selected.
GOOD LUCK!
