Time to get snapping

Friday 2 July, 2021
The call for photographs to feature in the 2022 Goulburn Broken Catchment calendar is now open.

Goulburn Broken Catchment Management Authority (CMA) Coordinator Janice Mentiplay-Smith said the calendar photo competition was a fantastic way for local people to showcase their photographic skills and plants and animals that make the place they call home so special. 

“Each year we produce and distribute 5000 calendars across the region,” Ms Mentiplay-Smith said.

 “The competition has been running for more than a decade now and entering it has become quite a tradition for keen photographers and nature watchers.”

Preference is given to photographs of local plants or animals in their natural state, insects, waterways or other natural features such as landscapes.

“We always receive extremely positive feedback on the quality of the calendar, and the fact it contains amazing images of the local environment taken by local people,” Ms Mentiplay-Smith said. “I encourage everyone to grab their camera and get out into the natural environment and see what they can find.”

For more information about the photo competition, or to submit a photo, email janicem@gbcma.vic.gov.au (no USBs or disks).  To be eligible photos need to be a landscape, colour, JPEG image and between 2MB and 10MB. Please include a subject line. 

Photos must be submitted by COB August 20.

This project is supported by the Goulburn Broken CMA through funding from the Australian Government’s National Landcare Program.

The Goulburn Broken CMA acknowledges and respects First Nations people and the deep connection they have with their land and waters.


We acknowledge the Yorta Yorta and Taungurung people and their ancestors/forbears as Traditional Owners of the land and waters in the Goulburn Broken Catchment (and beyond). We value our ongoing partnerships with Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation and Taungurung Land and Waters Council for the health of Country and its people.


We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and acknowledge and recognise the primacy of Traditional Owners obligations, rights and responsibilities to use and care for their traditional lands and waters.
