Do you have a stunning photo of Zandvlei you’re proud of? Now is your chance to share it with the world and support a great cause! The Zandvlei Trust is excited to announce our “Give it your best shot” photo competition, and we are looking for your most captivating images to feature in our 2026 fundraising calendar.
The theme for this year’s competition is “Zandvlei — conservation and community.” We want to see the vibrant life of our beloved vlei through your eyes. Whether it’s a breathtaking landscape, a majestic bird in flight, a quiet moment of nature, or people enjoying the water, we encourage you to capture what makes Zandvlei special to you. This is a chance to show that Zandvlei is not just a place, but a living, breathing ecosystem that supports both wildlife and a thriving community.
This competition is open to everyone! We have two categories: one for adults and a special junior category for those 16 and under. Your passion for photography could earn you some fantastic prizes, including ORMS vouchers for adults and cash prizes for juniors, thanks to our generous sponsor, Pam Golding Properties.
Your photo could be one of the twelve chosen to be printed in our glossy, high-quality calendar, which will be sold to raise essential funds for the Zandvlei Trust. It’s a wonderful way to contribute to our mission and have your work celebrated.
