What makes a winning image?

When picking the winners, we look for photos that will look great in our calendar and showcase a wide range of rural life scenes. Use the following tips to help create a winning image:

  • Position your phone or camera at a horizontal landscape orientation to match the orientation of the calendar page
  • If you use your phone, check your phone settings are set to take a high-res photo
  • If you want to zoom in, try to get closer to your subject, instead of pinching to zoom
  • The image should print a crisp image in A4 size
