Calendar competition

The Barossa Photographic Calendar competition is back, with both serious photographers and passionate hobbyists invited to capture the essence of the region with a click.

Now in its second decade, 13 images will be selected for the 2026 calendar which has become a tribute to all The Barossa has to offer, from its world-renowned food and wine to its breathtaking natural wonders, culture and charm.

Whether it’s a shot of local craft, a historic building, or a scene from one of the many vibrant community events and festivals, all submissions are welcome.

Jo Seabrook, The Barossa Council’s Manager Visitor Economy and Events, puts no limit on the creativity she hopes to find in this year’s collection.

“We are eager to see the Barossa through the eyes of our community and this competition, which has become somewhat of a tradition over the years, is an exciting opportunity to share unique perspectives and our diversity,” Jo says.

Calendars sold at the Barossa Visitor Centre are often sent to friends and family overseas, and regularly purchased by tourists as a treasured keepsake of their travels.

“From the picturesque vineyards to our unique wildlife and rich history, we want this calendar to celebrate everything that makes the Barossa such a beloved destination,” says Jo.

Adding to the prestige of the competition, all winning photographs will be displayed at the South Australian Living Artists (SALA) exhibition held at the Barossa Visitor Centre in August.

The exhibition also gives the public a chance to vote for their favourite image as part of the ‘People’s Choice’ award, and the photographer receiving the most votes wins a $250 Barossa Made Wares & Food Pantry Voucher.
