OPEN for entries!

You are invited to submit your best travel images for consideration to be included in the next Club calendar.

Not to be scuppered by a global pandemic, the search for images for next year’s Club Calendar will go ahead…

All members are invited to submit their best travel pictures for possible inclusion in the 2021 Globetrotters Club Calendar.

Hopefully, current travel restrictions will lift sufficiently for us to seek out new destinations and photograph them afresh before the closing date of 31st August 2020. But also…

As always, there is no limit on the age of the photograph (as many images remain ‘timeless’) so why not trawl through your archive of images of memorable travels gone by and submit a favourite picture to inspire others for when we can travel freely again?

Or maybe you’ve been making pictures where you live or happened to be grounded during lockdown and have seen what is familiar to you in a different light? Remember, one person’s home is another’s travel destination – can you give it a ‘sense of place’?

If you haven’t entered before, why not give it a go this year? If you have submitted pictures in previous years but been unsuccessful so far, do try again – you may have got closer to the shortlist than you think!

The rules are pretty much the same as in previous years – send up to three images that show the beauty of a destination and evoke a feeling of wanderlust, inspiring others to travel.

Entries will be judged anonymously by a panel of judges from the committee – only the editor will know the identity of the photographer until the final images have been chosen. Pictures will only be used for the calendar and in Globetrotters Club publications (Globe magazine, the e-newsletter, the website/social media) to promote the calendar and the Club.

There will shortly be a link on the website to check these rules again and from which to enter directly but alternatively you can email your entries to

The closing date for entries is 31st August 2020, at 23:59 BST.

Entrants must be current club members.

Members may send a maximum of three images per entry.

Please ensure that your membership is valid when making your submissions and on the closing date is 31st August 2020, as it will need to be verified.

Please also ensure that it remains paid up until at least December 2019 as calendars will be sent out direct from the printers using a list of current members.

Pictures that were entered in previous years but were not chosen may be resubmitted but we would prefer to see something new!

Photos must be of sufficient technical quality to print at the required size.

There is no limit on when the pictures were taken, the photos do not need to be recent.

Photos will only be used by the Globetrotters Club for the purposes of the calendar, website, social media, Globe and the eNewsletter.

The Club reserves the right to reproduce pictures submitted for the calendar either in print or online. However, the Club will not sell any pictures on to a third party.

Pictures submitted remain the copyright of the photographer.

All images will be credited wherever possible. Pictures may be edited to suit design requirements, though we will endeavour to retain the photographer’s original composition as much as possible.
