Budding photographers are invited to submit their photographs of Hertford for the town’s best-selling calendar. Published by Hertford Town Council and sold in the ‘Hertford Town & Tourist Information Centre’, the Official Hertford 2026 Calendar will include creative and artistic images of Hertford, across the seasons.
Hertford Town Council is looking for a variety of images for each of the twelve months and the front cover. Photographs must be of Hertford and could be of the town’s green spaces, the four rivers, historic landmarks, events taking place* or anything else that shows off the beauty of our town.
Images should be submitted by Friday 29th August 2025. To enter, simply send your photograph to tic@hertford.gov.uk in jpg/high-resolution format, along with your name, address, telephone number and where in Hertford it was taken. Entrants can submit a maximum of three photographs.
The entries will be judged by a panel of experts, including the Mayor of Hertford, Councillor Steven Watson and the Chair of the Development and Leisure Committee, Councillor Ann Woodward. Last year, over 150 images were submitted.
Councillor Ann Woodward commented: “We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful town. Hertford has so many green spaces, amazing landmarks and natural beauty. The Calendar Competition, which grows in popularity each year, is a great opportunity for keen photographers to showcase Hertford at its very best. I am excited to see all the entries for this year's competition and will be first in the queue to buy my copy for 2026!”
Successful applicants will be presented with a complimentary 2026 Calendar and certificate, by the Mayor of Hertford, at a presentation at Hertford Castle in the autumn.
