NB. GCT takes no responsibility for any images lost in the post.

Please note: by indicating that you would not permit your images to be used in GCT promotions, this means that GCT will never reproduce your images for anything other than the calendar and it's promotion (for example, on our website or in our gift catalogue).

If you do not indicate this, then we will assume that you would not mind us re-using your image(s) in our fundraising or education work for Galapagos in the future, which could include passing your images onto third parties such as the press or other organisations. We will endeavour to ensure that your images are always duly credited but are unable to take responsibility should a third party omit to include your name.

A list of winners will appear on the website. The judge's decision is final and no correspondence will be entered into. The competition is not open to GCT employees or their families.
