calendar entries needed now!

We warmly invite you to submit up to 4 photographs for the Schnauzerfest 2025 Charity Calendar. This is a big part of our annual fundraising, last year it raised over £6000 for the charity.

For another year we’re very lucky to have a private donor covering print and production costs. This means when the calendar goes on sale in September, 100% sales will help to pay vet bills, AMAZING.

So now what we need are beautiful photos from you, our supporters to make the 2025 calendar another popular sell-out.

How to enter

We invite you to submit up to 4 photos of your loved and very lovely schnauzers. Show off your photos, show off your dogs!

PICK YOUR BEST
1. We will be looking for photos for all seasons, so sort through your photos to find your best spring, summer, autumn and winter shots.
2. Think what you enjoy seeing in a calendar. Clear, sharp images work better than lots of details. If it's hard to spot the dog, the photo won’t work for the calendar. The dogs are always the stars in the Schnauzerfest calendar.

3. Take a look at the backgrounds, some just don’t work. Less is better.

4. Please do not submit any with people in them, we cannot use them.

5. No fancy dress. Simple dog coats are fine, fairy wings are not.

6. Your photos must be high quality, suitable for printing. Look at them with a critical eye, see if you can improve by cropping, editing, or choose a better one.

7. Please email them using the link below AFTER making a donation. Tell us the name of the dog(s) in the photos you are submitting.

8. Entries close at midnight on Friday 3rd May 2024.

IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE YOU SUBMIT YOUR PHOTOS
1. Maximum 4 photos per person.

2. We ask for a donation of £4 per person (not per photo) entering. Donate using the link below before submitting your photos.
3. After donating email your photos using the button below.

4. By submitting your photos you are giving permission for your photos to be used by Schnauzerfest to help promote our fundraising and awareness. Your images will not be used for any other purpose.

5. You must own the copyright of all photographs you submit, if using a friend’s, or family member’s do not use without their explicit, written permission.

6. No discussion can be entered into about the judges’ selection of photos. They will base their choices entirely on what images are going to produce the very best possible calendar for the charity and its fundraising.

After entries close, a shortlist will be drawn up and final judging will be done by a panel of volunteer judges. Their only interest will be making sales of the calendar a success for the charity’s fundraising. We will use as many photos as we can in the calendar, but for those which don't appear, we hope you'll be excited to see them appear in promotional ways for the charity throughout the year. You are agreeing to Schnauzerfest using them in this way by submitting them.

The calendar will be put together and managed entirely by Schnauzerfest volunteers.

We are aiming for sales to open in September.
