Time running out to enter BOM Weather Calendar comp

The Bureau of Meteorology on the lookout for great shots of the weather.

The Bureau of Meteorology is reminding photographers that there are only six weeks left to enter photographs in the BOM Australian Weather Calendar photo competition.

The winning images are published each year in the Australian Weather Calendar.

A tradition for more than 30 years, the highly popular calendar (large format art reproduction on high-quality paper) has been featured throughout Australia and more than 80 countries around the world.

The calendar is released in early November each year and its featured photographers often report that the exposure is great for their careers. Amateurs and professionals alike have been winners — the judges look for artistic merit, technical skill, and authentic and striking depictions of Australian weather phenomena.

To enter the comp is free and photos taken in any year are eligible.

The competition closes on 31 March 2017 — for more information on how to enter head to www.bom.gov.au/calendar/contest.

If you want to check out this year’s winners, the 2017 calendar is still available from shop.bom.gov.au
