It’s time to share your favourite photos of summers past by entering the 2022 Heritage Calendar photo competition.

The competition, being run by Sunshine Coast Council, is open until August 16, entry is free and winning photos will be included in the calendar.

The theme, The Great Outdoors…Celebrating fun days of sun and adventure, will showcase a mix of images – from hiking and camping in the hinterland, spending lazy days at the beach, a drive in the country or flying high above the region.

Community Portfolio Councillor Rick Baberowski said the annual heritage calendar provided a perfect opportunity to showcase the curious aspects of our region’s history, often hidden in personal photo collections.

“This is the eighth year we have reached out to our community to feature photos from their experience of our region in the annual calendar,” Cr Baberowski said.

“It’s a really fantastic opportunity to get together with friends or family to recollect, and share stories as you rummage for your favourite outdoor shots.

The winning photos will feature in the calendar along with photographer credits.
