It’s here!
The annual Elders Calendar competition is now open, so it’s time to get snapping.

Last year we had over 5,000 entries. Every picture told a story of life in rural and regional Australia.

#ForAusAg
Elders has been for Australian agriculture for over 180 years, so this year we invite you to tell us your contribution to Australian agriculture, as seen through the lens.

The winning entry not only secures the acclaimed cover position, but also a $500 pre-paid gift voucher.

12 additional winners will be allocated a month within the calendar and receive a $100 gift voucher.

So grab your camera, get snapping and submit your entries.

Competition closes 11:59 pm Sunday 31 July 2022 and is subject to terms and conditions.
