The City of Albany is seeking expressions of interest from Albany photographers who are keen to submit photographs of local bird life to feature in the 2023 Community Calendar.
Each year the Community Calendar presents a unique theme to reflect a new topic, project, or highlight of Albany.
For 2023, the Community Calendar will feature Albany Birdlife, aiming to celebrate both the beautiful winged fauna and the talent of local photographers – both professional and amateur – in Albany.
More than 200 species of birds call Albany home, providing local shutterbugs with ample opportunity to display their skills.
Manager Community Relations Louise Paterson said there is a strong cohort of birdlife enthusiasts in Albany who display a lot of this enthusiasm through their lens.
“It is exciting to be a birdlife admirer in Albany as our city boasts some of the most stunning, rare and unique feathered friends,” Ms Paterson said.
“Photography is a wonderful and diverse art form that attracts participants from school age right up to our senior community members.
“The 2023 Albany Birdlife Community Calendar aims to capture the natural beauty of our birdlife and display it for community for 12 months of the year.”
The popular annual publication is available free of charge to Albany residents and includes key dates, waste collection information and important public information from the City of Albany.
Images must be taken within the City of Albany local government area, feature birdlife and be submitted by an Albany resident.
Each image chosen to be featured in the calendar will receive $200, with the image selected for the cover receiving $300.
Expression of interest forms for the 2023 Community Calendar are available at www.albany.wa.gov.au/facilities/community/community-calendar-2023.aspx and must be submitted by Tuesday, 30 August 2022.
