CALENDAR COMPETITION 2026 IS OPEN NOW!

It’s that time of year again! The Friends of the Strays of Greece calendar competition is once again OPEN, and Liz and Steve Grayston are raring to produce the 2026 calendar for us.

So, we ask everybody who has adopted a Friends of the Strays of Greece dog or cat to enter a free photo competition so that your dog/s and cat/s have the opportunity to become one of the main twelve pictures in next year’s calendar. You can enter a maximum of 12 photographs per dog or cat, and you have from now until 10pm on SUNDAY 22 JUNE to submit your photos.

Please note the change in number of entries – which is now 12 per dog/cat.

Photographs should be of the BEST POSSIBLE QUALITY, and it is important that they are NOT CROPPED nor DIGITALLY EDITED. It is also important that they are of YOUR CAT OR DOG ONLY AND DON’T INCLUDE PEOPLE.

Please send your photos, including your name and that of your dog/cat to Liz at the following email address by 10pm on SUNDAY 22 JUNE: [email protected].

Five independent judges will then each choose their 20 favourite photos. Their choices will go forward to an independent final judge who will choose his/her final 12 photos – these will become the 12 months of the year in the calendar. Finally, after the 12 months of the year have been chosen, the 72 x £5 squares that surround the 12 main photos will go on sale. This guarantees your dog or cat adopted via Friends of the Strays of Greece appears in the calendar, and it also helps towards the printing costs.

As always, we are really looking forward to seeing all your photos and would love some spring, summer, autumn, snow, Christmas and Easter entries. So, please get snapping and uploading so next year’s calendar is another beauty! Many thanks.
