This year’s theme is “Live, Work and Play in Charlotte County,” which aligns with the county’s vision “to preserve and enrich our community’s quality of life for those who live, work and play in our paradise.” The contest is free and open to the public.

Photographers of all skill levels are encouraged to submit original images that capture life in Charlotte County — whether it’s the peacefulness of a sunset, the energy of a local workplace, or families enjoying outdoor recreation.

Submission Guidelines:

• All photos must be taken within Charlotte County.
• Images should not include visible business identifiers such as logos or signage.
• Only horizontal-format photos will be accepted (11 inches by 8.5 inches).
• Deadline for entries is Aug. 15, 2025.

Submissions may be uploaded directly at www.CharlotteCountyFL.gov/contest.

A total of 14 winning photos will be selected for the 2026 calendar. Chosen photographers will be notified via phone or email. The printed calendars will be available to the public in late November at various county facilities, to be announced.

Usage and Licensing:

By submitting a photo, entrants grant the Charlotte County Board of County Commissioners a perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive license to reproduce, distribute, and display the image with a name credit, without monetary compensation. Entrants must have permission from recognizable individuals in their images and may be asked to provide a signed release.
