It's that time again! BFC is gearing up for our 2025 Wild Bison of Yellowstone Country Calendar, and we want your beautiful wild buffalo images! The calendar has been such an amazing project for us, a true celebration of the wild buffalo of Yellowstone country, and we are thrilled to continue with it.
To meet the image size and quality of our calendar printing, photos must be high-resolution, digital images of wild buffalo from the Yellowstone herds in their natural habitat (no roads, signs, fences, people, etc. in the shot please). Photos from every season are needed, including buffalo in deep winter, calving season, the rut, herd shots, and everything in between. Images of wild buffalo with wild neighbors such as grizzly bears, wolves, and others are also encouraged.
Photos must be at least 12.25" wide x 8.25 tall at 300 pixels per inch. Approx. a 35mb file. (This requires a 10 megapixel camera or larger.). Please submit your raw, unedited files whenever possible. A good (unmodified) jpg file is fine for submission, as long as they are the high quality RAW or original file. We strongly prefer your images to not be color corrected. Adjusting color in images for four color process printing is different than for other printing processes. Contact us with any specific questions.

*Please properly name your files with your name included in file name. This link will expire July 1, 2025
When you upload files, only do a few at a time, and you should receive a dialog that says: "Uploaded Files" and then a list of completed file uploads below that. Double check this list to make sure your files have completed uploading before closing your browser window. You may upload good lower resolution of your photos for our screening if you choose (at least 1024px wide). If we pick one of your photos from your lower resolution versions, we ask that you have the high resolution and/or RAW files ready to submit. We have a short production schedule time, and need prompt replies in order to consider your photos for final publication.
We can't wait to see your pictures!
We are also accepting art work for the calendar, so please submit any art you'd like us to consider. And if you have any inspiring poetry, quotes or interesting facts you'd like us to share in the calendar, please send those our way also.
When submitting photographs of artwork we need files that are as straight on (not at an angle) and flat as possible, without the use of flash. The image files should be at minimum of ~4" in ether height/width and high resolution (300ppi).
Artists and photographers will be given full credit for any and all photos, poetry, art and images. If your photo doesn't make it into this calendar, we may still consider it in future years, and/or use it (with your permission) to help educate and inspire in our email updates, web site, newsletters, and other outreach materials. Please download and sign our Photography/Artwork/Poetry Consent Form (PDF) and send with your submission. Thanks!
