Photo Card Competition

BAWT Photo 2026 Calendar competition

🌟 It’s photo competition time again! 🌟

Last year’s Photo Calendar Competition was such a hit that we had to bring it back.

We absolutely loved receiving all your entries — they were stunning, heartfelt, and full of the magic that makes Buckenham Wood so special. Choosing the final 12 for the 2026 calendar was incredibly difficult because everyone shared so much passion, creativity, and love for the woodland.

📮💌Help us to create a set of BAWT Notecards💌📮

This year, we’re doing things a little differently. Instead of a calendar, we’ll be selecting five winning photographs to create a beautiful pack of blank notecards.

These will be available to buy in support of the Buckenham Ancient Woodland Trust — perfect for sending a note, gifting to friends, or simply enjoying as mini works of art.

See below for more details on how to enter.

We can’t wait to see what you capture this time!

📷 Good luck, and happy snapping! 📷
