Submit your photographs for a Guardian calendar

One of the best things about the start of the new year is selecting a new calendar: painstakingly surveying all of the options on the market, then finally opting for the best design that will cheer you up every morning for 365 days.
In fact because we love calendars so much, a year ago the Guardian's daily features section G2 was transformed into one, which was created with the help of readers, and given away with the newspaper.
To compile our calendar, we challenged photography fanatics to ingeniously depict G2 in a single image. The impressive selection of interpretations we received ranged from the culinary to the natural, with everything else in between, and 12 of the best were chosen to appear inthe final calendar.
As it was such a success we have decided to revisit the exercise again this year, asking aspiring photographers to capture G2 on camera once more.
If you would like to take part, all you need to do is be as imaginative and creative as you like with that theme. Then, send your landscape jpegs of at least 1MB to: your.pictures@guardian.co.uk, including your full name, address and a daytime telephone number, by Tuesday 14 December. You must own the copyright for any pictures that you send us.
