We’re looking for a brilliant allotment photograph to feature on this year’s
National Allotment Society Christmas cards – and it could be yours!
From frosty plots and snow-covered sheds to winter wildlife, festive touches and beautiful seasonal scenes, we want to see the allotment through your eyes.
What we’re looking for:
Send us a photograph that you think would make a fantastic Christmas card. It should have a clear allotment connection, but how you interpret the Christmas or winter theme is entirely up to you!
How to enter:
Email your photograph to: marketing@thenas.org.uk
with
Christmas Card Competition in the subject line.
Please send the highest-resolution version of your photograph available, as the winning image will need to be suitable for printing.
Entries close on 30 October 2026.
The prize:
Our favourite photograph will be transformed into an official National Allotment Society Christmas card design
The winning photographer will also receive three free packs of Christmas cards featuring their own photograph.
A few important details:
Photographs must be your own original work. If your photograph includes identifiable people, please make sure you have their permission for the image to be submitted and used.
By entering, you are giving the National Allotment Society permission to use your photograph in connection with the competition and, if selected, on our Christmas cards and related promotional activity, including our website, magazine, newsletter and social media. Copyright will remain with the photographer.
The winning photograph will be selected by the National Allotment Society and our decision will be final.
So, have a look through your photographs – or start thinking about the perfect seasonal shot – and show us the allotment scene you’d love to see on a Christmas card!
