The Daily Independent at YourValley.net invites readers to submit photographs of desert landscapes, wildlife and prominent landmarks to be used in the 2026 Scenic Arizona calendar.

Include a description of the picture/landmark taken in Arizona.

New this year, residents also have the option of submitting entries for the Independent’s first Pets calendar.

Send photos of your furry — or not-so-furry — friends along with your name and city of residence, the pet’s name and their breed and/or species.
All photos should be sent to aznews@iniusa.org with the subject “calendar” or “pets.”

By submitting a photo, the photographer gives Independent Newsmedia legal rights to publish the picture without royalties. Photographers will be identified by name and city in the calendar and professional photographers will receive complimentary publicity of their website.

Submitted photos must be in an original, unedited digital format.

Submission does not guarantee use.

Deadline is Tuesday, July 1.
