Submit Your Pics: AARP Foundation Calendar Contest
Entries accepted online March 2 – April 20, 2026
Calling all amateur shutterbugs! Are you a leisure-time lenser, casual camera person, part-time paparazzi, self-taught snapper? AARP Foundation wants your submissions for the 2026 Calendar Contest. This year’s calendar contest theme is Everyday Wonders.
Life is filled with small yet extraordinary moments that often pass us by. This theme highlights the beauty found in simple, everyday experiences: a butterfly landing on a flower; sunlight streaming through trees; the laughter of friends enjoying time together. Each month will showcase a scene that reminds us to pause and appreciate the wonder all around us. Enter your snapshots capturing Everyday Wonders today.
The AARP Foundation Calendar Contest launches March 2, and photograph submissions will be accepted through April 20, 2026. AARP Foundation will select at least 15 photographs to feature in the 2027 AARP Foundation calendar. Please read the official contest rules for more information, and check out the 2025 calendar contest winners.
