Our popular calendars will be back this year... with a new community slant.

Since 2021, we have printed and sold thousands of calendars across the world promoting the beauty of the Forres area.

People from as far as Australia have bought them to remind them of the place they grew up in, or their visit to the town.

This year, we're inviting YOU the public to submit your best photos for our 2027 calendar. We've previously used pictures from our own stock, but we've seen some excellent shots from our readers.

We're looking for views within the IV36 postcode area from all seasons.

As a social enterprise run by volunteers, all the profits from the calendars go back into to promoting the area, local businesses and events through Forres Local, Visit Forres and Moray Events.

Do you have any pictures you'd like to submit? Post them here and we'll be in touch. Contributors will be given calendars and a credit.

If you'd rather not post them here, send your pics to [email protected]. And, if you're not sure it's good enough, send it anyway!
