Calling all amateur photographers!  

Submit your photos to be featured in the
2026 Beautiful York County Calendar.

Winners receive a cash prize and get to see their photo in print!

We live in a beautiful community, where history comes alive!  The York County Beautification Committee invites you, our citizens, to share your most beautiful photos in the historic nature of York County (ex: landscapes, wildlife, still shots) for the chance to appear in the 2026 Beautiful York County calendar.

Photos are judged by the York County Beautification Committee based on the quality of the image and its adherence to the calendar’s theme. Thirteen winners will be selected to appear in the calendar – one for each month and the cover - with each winner receiving $100!

All York County citizens are eligible to participate by submitting up to two photos (submissions must be made by individuals who are not photographers by trade, and business photos are not accepted).

This contest is open only to York County residents.  The deadline to submit your photos is Friday, October 3. 

Submissions must include an address for verification of residency.  Addresses will not be listed in the calendar. Individuals submitting on behalf of a minor should list both their name and the minor’s name.

Photos must be original pieces, and must not contain watermarks, screen credits, or other embellishments.  

Complete rules and the photo submission form are available here.  Be sure to check the requirements for photo size, orientation, and submission details.  And good luck!!!
