2012 BDP Calendar Photo Competition

Our 2012 desk calendar theme will feature images that reflect your favorite landmarks or sights--where you live or anywhere in the world.

We are looking for your photographs that are natural, national, cultural--what you feel represents where you're from and who you are. A terrific view. A popular location. Historical, contemporary. The unusual. Sights and scenes that say, "Look at this!"

Show us what A World of Pride means to you.

The 14 creme de la creme images will be published in our 2012 official calendar.

Thank you to all contest participants!

Ushuaia, Argentina

"I am grateful to participate in this new calendar Photo contest. In this opportunity I present a picture taken by a closed friend of mine, Diego, who one day decided to leave Buenos Aires downtown and go to the southeast town in Argentina, called Ushuaia, for a new life. I am very proud of his valour and I would like to present this picture in honor to him. Diego and I wish to win this challenge and be present in the BDP 2012 calendar."
