The deadline for inclusion in the 2021 Tide Calendar is Monday, August 31st at midnight.

Twelve winning images will be selected to illustrate our 2021 Annual Taunton River Tide Calendar, with one grand prize image being selected for the cover. All winners will receive a free copy of the Tide Calendar.  


All files must be electronic. At this time, our volunteers do not have the time to scan photographs sent on film. Also, please send files taken from your device's camera. Images that are shot through apps like Instagram or snap chat or downloaded from Facebook, tend to be too compressed or are digitally unsuitable for print.   

If you have any questions or If you are emailing files, email them one at a time to director@savethetaunton.org.

If you are dropping a disk in the mail, please send us an email so we can keep an eye out for it. 
Please use the following mailing address: 
TRWA Calendar Contest , P.O. Box 1116 Taunton, MA 02780

Images with landscape orientation work the best. We are looking for seasonal images, so don't forget to submit that lovely snowscape you took in February or the fall foliage river-scape you shot last October. (We tend to get most of summer shots. So if you want to increase your odds of having an image selected, send shots of all four seasons!)

Your Beautiful Imagination

I am convinced compassion, love, and a healthy dose of imagination will get us through. When we create together, we dream together and we emerge better and healthier people.

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.”
~Albert Einstein

“Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.”
~ Gloria Steinem

 “If you fall in love with the imagination, you understand that it is a free spirit. It will go anywhere, and it can do anything.”
~ Alice Walker

“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” ~ Mark Twain
I hope you have time to breath, let go of that tension and unleash your imagination. It's the beginning of something beautiful!
~ Jacquie
