It’s definitely not too late to buy a 2021 calendar and this one is a cracker, filled with prizewinning photos taken by talented local photographers.

Twelve stunning images of the Manx countryside and farming scenes were chosen from more than 400 entries to feature in the new Isle of Man Meats’ calendar.

The prize for each winner is one meat pack worth £50, and a copy of the calendar. Their photos will be used to promote Isle of Man Meats in 2021.

The packs will be provided by the calendar sponsors - A&J Quality Butchers, Tommy Campbell Traditional Quality Butchers, Tate’s Traditional Butchers, Ballakelly Farm, Andreas Meat Co, Radcliffes Butchers, WE Teare, Manx Local Butchers, Lee Mayers Traditional Butchers and Bacon Curers, Co-Op, Shoprite, and Tesco.

All the sponsors are stockists of Isle of Man Meats products.

Procurement officer at Isle of Man Meats Kirree Kermode said: ’This is the first time we have produced a calendar.

’Thank you to everyone who entered the competition, and many congratulations to the winners.

’We were overwhelmed with the number and quality of the images - it was fantastic to see so many superb photos which reflect how Manx farmers care for livestock and the rural landscape.’
