Voting is underway to decide which images will be chosen for the 2023 City of Greater Geelong Calendar competition.
Each year the City of Greater Geelong create a wall calendar made up of photographs from amazing local amateur and professional photographers which are submitted through their annual calendar photo competition.
Designed to discover the very best of our region, the competition attracts hundreds as snappers try their hand at producing one of the final 13 images that get selected for the calendar, which is free of charge for residents and delivered to over 110,000 residents’ homes and the City’s customer service and leisure centres.
The last couple of months have seen the city calling for shutterbugs to share their ‘uniquely Geelong’ images for a chance to be featured in the next calendar, and now the results are in.

- The Geelong calendar competition is now open for a public vote.
- After receiving more than 1000 entries, the City of Greater Geelong has shortlisted two photos per month.
