Our Shop 2028 Calendar Photography Competition
OUR SHOP CALENDAR for 2028 – Houghton & Wyton Through the Seasons
A Village Photographic Competition – Get Snapping!
Our Shop is launching an exciting photographic competition celebrating the changing seasons in our beautiful villages of Houghton and Wyton, and we’d love everyone to get involved. So, whether you’re young or old, an experienced photographer or an enthusiastic beginner, we’d love you to take part. Whatever catches your eye, we’d love to see it! Your Photograph Could Feature in Our Shop’s 2028 Calendar!
OUR AIM is to celebrate our Villages!!
We hope this competition will encourage everyone to get out and about, appreciate our wonderful surroundings and help create a truly special calendar showcasing Houghton and Wyton throughout the year for 2028. From the rich colours of autumn, frosty winter mornings and the first signs of spring to glorious summer sunshine, our villages offer endless opportunities to capture that perfect picture. Perhaps it’s a favourite village scene, a beautiful garden, wildlife, a familiar landmark or simply a special moment that captures the character and charm of village life.
How it works:
A panel of judges, led by Duncan Smith, will select the 12 best photographs (3 for each season) to feature in Our Shop’s 2028 Calendar, with one winning photograph representing each month of the year.
And there’s a prize too! Each of the 12 winning photographers published in the Shop Calendar will receive a £10 Our Shop voucher, as well as the pleasure of seeing their photograph published in the calendar.
