Entries open for 2027 River Tyne charity calendar competition

Tyne Rivers Trust has opened its annual photo competition for the 2027 charity calendar, inviting submissions from photographers of all ages and abilities.

Images should feature the River Tyne catchment throughout the seasons, from sea to source.

Sophia Stovall, chief executive officer at Tyne Rivers Trust, said: “We were blown away by the quality of entries last year.

“For the 2027 calendar, we want to see even more of the diverse nature of our waterways, from the hidden tributaries to the iconic main river, the wildlife that calls the Tyne home, and the stunning landscapes that surround it.”

The 2026 calendar generated strong community interest and sold more than 100 copies, raising funds for the environmental charity.

Photos can be professionally shot or taken on smartphones, with the focus on capturing any aspect of the river across the year.

Proceeds from calendar sales help fund the trust’s work to improve water quality, address climate change, and protect the river’s ecosystem for the long term.

The 2027 calendar will feature 12 winning images, with each month available for sponsorship at £1,000.

Sponsors will have their logo and information included in the calendar and all funds will support the trust’s ongoing projects.

The public are encouraged to visit the riverbanks this season and capture their best Tyne-inspired image.

Selected entries will be featured in the printed calendar, giving contributors the chance to see their photography in print and support an environmental cause.
