Poll: Vote for the 2020 Shetland Times Calendar Competition
Steve Birrell's shot of Sumburgh Head which won the 2018 calendar competition.
After much deliberation, the final shortlist for the 2020 Shetland Times calendar competition has been decided.
More than 120 pictures were submitted for this year’s calendar competition, and Shetland Times photographer Dave Donaldson has helped to whittle that list down to a shortlist of twelve.
A wide variety of quality entries captured this year included incredible local landscapes, stunning aerial drone shots and stills of wildlife in motion.
It is now up to you to decide who will take top billing on the 2020 Shetland Times calendar.
Voting is now closed – the winner will be announced in the Friday 29th November edition of The Shetland Times.

Cracking selection of entries again this year! I actually like them all, but I’ve voted for Andrew Simpson’s because I’d like to see a bright and colourful image on the Calendar.

This truly expresses the power of sea against land that is Shetland. Eshaness is stunning ( although I am a biased resident) and recognised globally.
All the pictures are lovely, it’s great to see the Islands through others eyes.

Could we not have all of them. Stunning photography by all. Andrew got my vote as it reminds you how incredible Shetland on a fine summers day.

Carl Hall
A great selection of photos, and hard to choose the best one. I may be a little biased being an ex merchant seaman, but I have voted for Ryan Leith’s photo of the large cruise ship entrying Lerwick harbour. I used to work for P & O sailing around the world on passenger ships. Ryan’s father Peter encouraged me to join the merchant navy and see the world.
June Reynolds
Love how the rainbow has been captured on this wonderful photo.
John Thomas
Lovely photos. They really show the beauty of our beloved Shetland. A beauty we can appreciate all the more once we get Brexit done!

I liked the Cruise liner photo, as this seem to tell a story of adventure through the fog when arriving. Kind of reminded me when I journeyed from Lerwick to Aberdeen and back also my last venture via Kirkwall in the late eighties.
