Cotton harvest at dusk, creating a line of white dust

Thank you to all the photographers who entered the 2025 Elders Calendar Competition. Once again, we had a fantastic response and were overwhelmed by how many amazing photos we received. Making the final selection wasn’t easy. 

Congratulations to Danielle McKay for her photo "Dusk and grain dust"

From Carrathool, New South Wales, Danielle's image, shown above, wins the coveted cover spot. 

She says "I just love the wide open skies of the Hay plains, and harvest is my absolute favourite time of the year. I swear I can just smell the wheat by looking at this photo." 

You'll be able to collect a copy of the calendar from your local Elders branch from November.
In the meantime enjoy the other winning photos below and continue to tag us on Socials: #ForAusAg #EldersLimited
