The deadline is fast approaching for submissions to the Manx Blind Welfare Society 2020 fundraising calendar.

The charity is on the lookout for striking photos of the Isle of Man, from local budding photographers, which showcase the Island from a unique viewpoint in all seasons and weather.

The calendars are an important annual fundraiser for Manx Blind Welfare Society, raising much-needed funds which go directly towards the vital work it does within the community; providing support and services to over 500 people with serious sight loss in the Isle of Man.

For the opportunity to have your photograph showcased, email: DThomson@mbws.org.im.
