Irish Wildlife Photographer of the Year calendar of the year out now.
This year the Irish Wildlife Trust and Canon asked people to submit their best wildlife photos for the Irish Wildlife Photograph of the Year. Our judges had the difficult task of whittling down the hundreds of entries to just 12 – each of which now appears on our IWT 2013 calendar which is out now. The photographers have done an amazing job of showing us just how spectacular our wildlife is and now they are yours to enjoy throughout 2013. The calendar is available through our web site for just €10 plus P+P. All proceeds go to the IWT. The overall winner of a Canon EOS 7D will be announced in December. See www.iwt.ie .
