Calling all Amateur Photographers

The clock is ticking if you want to participate in Madrugada’s latest photographic competition for their 2024 wall calendar entitled ‘Birds of the Algarve’. 

Eagle-eyed snappers must submit their images by the end of July to be in with a chance of featuring in the publication. Alan Vittery, veteran ornithologist, intrepid traveller and author of many books on avian life, including ‘Birds of the Algarve’ will join the professional judges Susan Howard and Dave Sheldrake to help whittle down entries to twelve captivating images. 

Alan commented that the huge variety of bird life here in the Algarve gives people a great opportunity to record the wonderful diversity and beauty of our feathered friends in some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. “I am hoping to see some unusual species as climate change has created an influx of birds not normally seen in this part of the Iberian peninsula.” 

Why not show off your photographic talents and, in the process, contribute to a very worthwhile cause? All proceeds from the sale of the calendar will help to cover the cost of Madrugada’s free-of-charge, end-of-life, hospice-at-home care services. Watch this space for details of where to buy the calendar, which is scheduled to go on sale in September.

Your high-resolution landscape orientation entries (up to three) must be submitted in jpeg format to madrugada2024calendar@gmail.com. Full Ts & Cs can be found at www.madrugada-portugal.com/events/algarvemoments.
