Â鶹´«Ã½ College is pleased to announce the call for entries for the 2026 CBC Wildlife Calendar. Each year, CBC produces a wildlife calendar free of charge for members of the community and surrounding areas. The calendar features the work of South Texas photographers and over 3,000 are distributed to local businesses and individuals throughout the United States and all over the world.
Photographers maintain all rights to photos submitted. By submitting photos, the photographer allows Â鶹´«Ã½ College to use the photos in promoting calendars. CBC will not sell any of the photos submitted.
CBC’s Wildlife Calendar showcases the Â鶹´«Ã½ region’s native birds, flowers, insects, vegetation and wildlife. Photographers who are interested in submitting their outstanding South Texas wildlife photos have until 5:00 pm, August 22, 2025. A three-person panel of local wildlife experts will judge the entries to select the photographs to be included in the 2026 calendar.
All photographers should note that they are able to submit their entries via Cloud storage links such as OneDrive or Dropbox. All photos must be submitted along with the 2026 CBC Wildlife Calendar Submission Form, which is available for download at the link below. Additionally, submissions will not be returned, photos may not be emailed as attachments, and photos with watermarks will not be consider for calendar judging.
Photo submissions may include flowers, insects, birds, reptiles, and animals that are native to the area, as well as photos that highlight regional landscape, vegetation, and character. Photographs that are submitted for inclusion should be bright, exceptionally sharp with a prominent subject in the photo, and taken with high quality camera settings suitable for printing at an 8 x 10-inch size for landscape orientation. Prints and slides are not acceptable submissions.
