This competition has closed.

What is the calendar competition?

The Burton and Nettleton calendar competition started just last year and proved hugely popular. Entries to the competition vie for a place in the 2023 calendar. The competition is open to residents of Burton and Nettleton to submit their best landscape and nature shots taken within a three mile radius of St Mary’s Church.

How to enter

All photos must be your own work and are to be a minimum of 300 ppi, and a maximum of 1MB. Landscape orientation is preferred, but not essential.
