Also on the judging panel, announced today by Trinity House, will be Jeremy de Halpert, Deputy Master and Executive Chairman of Trinity House, and Charles Salmon, Managing Director of Salmon Calendars.

Alan Titchmarsh, a household name for many years through his passionate presenting of gardening programmes and more recently for his novel writing, will chair the group that has the difficult decision of deciding which images will make it in to the 2007 Lighthouse Calendar. The number and quality of the entries received to date has been very high and with less than three months remaining in which members of the public can submit their images of any of Trinity House’s 71 spectacular lighthouses, the resulting calendar is expected to be among the best ever produced.

The two best photographs will also win either a digital camera or an amazing week-long voyage for two people aboard Trinity House’s flagship, THV Patricia. The two winners together with the other entrants whose photographs are selected for the calendar will receive a framed copy of their entry and three copies of the calendar.

Trinity House operates some of the most famous lighthouses in the world, including Gibraltar’s. Renowned for their beauty, history and architectural merit many of the lighthouses are listed buildings situated in spectacular locations and lend themselves to creative images.
