Photos that reflect some of Ireland's thriving sectors such as agriculture.
Another option is photographs that highlight the many different species of nature and animals that are to be found in Ireland, like squirrels, birds, butterflies, and deer.
Other photos that may not fit into the above criteria, but that you feel would merit publication in the calendar, will also be considered.
