Amateur photographers: Don’t miss last chance to enter 2024 calendar competition

Don’t miss it! There are only a few days left for amateur photographers to enter Westside’s 2024 calendar competition.

Westside Business Improvement District (BID) is offering more than £1,000 worth of prizes to the winning entries that will each host a month in next year’s calendar.

And all winners will also see their pictures displayed and celebrated in a new exhibition at a Westside venue next summer.

Damien Walmsley snaps his winning 2023 image exhibited at The Flapper this summer.

The competition is now in its third consecutive year and invites anyone living, working or visiting the area to send in the very best picture they have taken in and around Birmingham’s ‘golden mile’ in the last 12 months.

All entries must arrive by Friday 10 November 2023 to be reviewed by a judging panel, with the best twelve images each hosting a month in the BID’s 2024 calendar, and the overall winning picture used as the calendar cover.

The overall winner will receive a £200 gift voucher to eat out on Westside, and the other eleven winners will each receive £100 gift vouchers.

Westside BID will also pay to print and frame all 12 pictures which will be displayed in a VIP exhibition at a venue on Broad Street.

Meetu Varshney enjoys her winning picture in the exhibition at The Flapper.

How to enter:

Entries must be submitted digitally via a WeTransfer link sent to luisa.huggins@westsidebid.co.uk, with each photograph a minimum 1MB and a maximum 5MB file.

No other forms of entry will be accepted, and entries must be sent to arrive by 12 noon on Friday 10 November 2023. To be valid, entries must state the photographer’s full name, date of birth, postal and email addresses, and phone number. Full terms and conditions are here.
