One of Geelong’s biggest annual photo competitions is open for submissions.

The City of Greater Geelong has invited photographers from across the region to enter the 2025 Geelong Calendar Photography Competition.

The public will vote from a shortlist, with the competition winner’s entry featured on the front cover of the City’s 2025 calendar.

The annual competition is always popular and is open to photographers of all ages and experience levels.

Last year the competition received more than 530 entries, with 15,000 people voting to determine the winner.

The competition will be open for submissions until Friday, October 11.

Greater Geelong Mayor Trent Sullivan said the competition would get the community involved in showcasing their favourite parts of the region.

“Each year, we get the chance to see Greater Geelong through the lens of its residents, showing how diverse and unique our region is,” Mayor Sullivan said.

“Our annual calendar photography competition is popular with the community and encourages residents with a passion for photography to celebrate what makes Greater Geelong special.”

Councillor Melissa Cadwell said there was so much to capture in Geelong and its surroundings.

“This is a wonderful opportunity for residents to share what they love most about Geelong,” Cr Cadwell said.

“In each edition, I find something new to appreciate about our region.”

The 2025 Geelong Calendar will be available in December from one of three City customer service centres, with people able to register for a mailed copy between now and November 29.
