The Last Green Valley, Inc. (TLGV) is searching for 24 photos capturing the unique spirit of the National Heritage Corridor. The selected images will appear in the 2026 TLGV Calendars and hang proudly in businesses and homes throughout the National Heritage Corridor and beyond!

The last two years we have been able to create two calendars, one celebrating the wildlife of The Last Green Valley and the other a tribute to people and places of the National Heritage Corridor.

Photos must capture the heart and soul of the natural, historic and cultural resources of The Last Green Valley. We welcome photos of people caring for and enjoying the National Heritage Corridor, but we must have the subject’s permission to publish.

The TLGV Calendars are a full 8.5 by 11 inches, printed in color on high quality paper and will be available through the TLGV online shop, with all proceeds supporting the programs and projects of the National Heritage Corridor. The name of the photographer, title of the image and location the photo was taken in are printed with each image.

The photographers who earn the covers will be featured in a press release about the calendars, in addition to receiving 5 copies of the 2026 TLGV Calendar. All other winners will get 2 copies of the calendar. Photographers who have winning images in both calendars will get copies of both.

Each photograph must be in color digital format, sized to 10” wide x 8” tall (landscape orientation), and at least 300 dpi and be accompanied by a completed contest form. Photos that do not meet the criteria will be disqualified. There is a limit of three entries per person. Contest forms are here. All submissions will become the property of TLGV. Submissions are due by email no later than 4 pm on June 16, 2025.
