A Calendar for The Fens…

In 2020, we asked our followers to get involved and enter photos of the fens to make a community collaboration calendar.

We were overwhelmed to receive over 60 entries featuring the beauty of the fens across the seasons. Also, a huge thank you to everyone who purchased a calendar either for themselves or as a gift for someone else.

In June 2021, we will launch the competition again, on Celebrate the Fens day 19th June. If you wish to enter please see below for the guidelines:

We are looking for images that really capture the beauty of the fens, you can interpret this how you wish. Also that capture the changing seasons and months.
Entries can be received from 19th June 2021, and the closing date is the 20th July 2021.
Please email your entry to fascinatingfens@outlook.com, and include your full name, place it was taken and the time of year it was taken. Please do not include your name on your photo, as the competition will be judged anonymously.
You’re welcome to send up to three photos.
