A promotional graphic titled "Thetford Calendar Competition" featuring twelve numbered photographs arranged in a 3×4 grid, inviting readers to "Choose Your Winner for 2027!". The images showcase scenes from around Thetford, including a frosty sunrise at Castle Park, the Thomas Paine statue, a kingfisher, spring blossom near the castle mound, Thetford Priory, the River Thet, a vintage J. Jones butcher's lorry with historical re-enactors, a tranquil lake, a sunset over the town skyline, a historic steam traction engine, a pipe band marching through the town centre, and a snowy aerial view of Thetford Market Place. Each photograph is labelled with a number from 1 to 12 for voting purposes.

When choosing your images, remember that judges look not only for a strong Thetford connection but also for seasonal suitability. A photograph that works perfectly for August may not be the best fit for January. Therefore images for the colder months are always welcome.
