The British Equestrian Trade Association’s annual calendar competition is up and running and on the lookout for the cream of the crop – 12 horsey pictures to be the stars of the 2022 BETA calendar.

Images will be picked to represent each month, with the one judged Best in Show bagging the entrant a fantastic gift hamper.

All photographs submitted must have been taken by the person who enters them – they must not be a professional photographer.

Images should be supplied in a digital format, minimum size 150 x 115mm (1,722 x 1,358px), 300dpi or at least 2MB, and must not be subject to copyright. They should be emailed to BETA, [email protected], with the entrant’s name, address and a description of what is depicted. The deadline for submissions is Friday, September 17.

BETA executive director Claire Williams said: “The BETA Calendar Competition is one of our most eagerly anticipated initiatives. It offers a great opportunity for riders, owners and equestrian enthusiasts to showcase their photos in a really super way. With most of us having high-quality cameras on our mobile phones, we can capture some delightfully spontaneous shots as they happen.

“The images selected for the calendar certainly help to brighten up offices, stores and yards, and each month is printed with essential show dates to help plan for the year ahead.”
