Question...? Have you submitted your photos to the 2023 Ontario Crags Calendar yet? This is a reminder that entries are due at #midnight on Wednesday, November 2nd! Make sure to submit in time so you're not left wondering if the cover would've, could've, should've been yours 😉 We'll be looking for a variety of images that represent how diverse climbing can be throughout the province, for a true showcase of Ontario climbing. Just as diverse as our tracklist! (Are you familiar with all these climbs?) Submission details can be found at the link in our bio! 📸 By @willtam85 #ontario #climbing #access #climbingphotography #calendar #fundraiser

It’s that time of year again! Our call for photo submissions for the 2023 OAC Ontario Crags Calendar is now OPEN!! The Ontario Crags Calendar aims to celebrate and highlight the wide variety of climbing that Ontario has to offer. We want to showcase everything from as many different crags, seasons, and climbers as possible — ICE, SPORT, TRAD and BOULDERING are all honoured here. Let’s celebrate the diversity of our province and our community! Valid photo submissions must have LANDSCAPE orientation (i.e. horizontal), and be of climbers at Ontario crags only (of course!). In order to meet print standards, full size images must be clear and at least 8.5″x11″ at 300 dpi. Submissions do not need to be dated from this year, but they DO need to showcase your love for Ontario climbing. So make the most of this tail end of the season, or take some time to venture down memory lane and rediscover some forgotten gems! The Ontario Crags Calendar helps us raise awareness and funds in support of Ontario access. Please consider donating a photo! Send your best shots to submissions@ontarioallianceofclimbers.ca by WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2ND for a chance to be featured. Chosen entrants will receive a free copy of the calendar, credit complete with name and website, and a little slice of local fame 😉 Please see additional rules of submission at the link in our bio. This great shot of @jazzyjwats was our centrefold poster for the 2022 calendar, taken and submitted by @russ_sean. Whose photo be featured this year?! #ontario #access #climbing #calendar #fundraiser #climbingphotography
