Fulking Village Action Group is planning to produce a Downland Village Calendar of photographs for 2017. Money raised from the calendar will go to help the village.
We need high-quality photos of local landscapes in different seasons and weather, also local wildlife, flora, livestock and scenes of village life / local activities. And we need them now!
Please email your submissions to photos@fulking.net as soon as possible, and by end of May at the latest. Images taken on a decent digital camera should be fine, but ideally they should be as large as possible with a minimum pixel dimension of 2500 x 1700. Also send us a telephone number so we can contact you.
Landscape format is preferred. You must own the copyright of the images and agree to publication of them in the calendar.
