You picked the cover photo!
Congratulations to all the 2025 Beachcombing Calendar Photo Contest Finalists!
We received over 500 entries this year for the 2025 Beachcombing Calendar and it was hard to choose just 14! We believe the finalists all convey the beauty of beachcombing and each image will be a pleasure to display for a month.
We are thrilled to announce the people's choice winner for the cover: “Sunset Heart Stopper” by Anna Roche Clark. Anna's beach glass stopper was the 2023 Find of the Year winner in the International Sea Glass Contest and she took this stunning photo of this rare red stopper with the sun reflecting off the waves. The winner will appear on the cover of the 2025 Beachcombing Calendar, with each of the other finalists appearing in the calendar.
