Galway Bay FM is inviting you to get involved each month in our Monthly Photo Competition, celebrating the iconic landmarks, stunning scenery and moments of magic that make Galway special throughout the year.
We’re asking amateur photographers to capture an image taken during the month of entry that clearly says “January in Galway”, “This is March”, and so on. Each month, one winning photo will receive a prize and earn a place in the Galway Bay FM Charity Calendar 2027, which will be produced and sold at Christmas in aid of a chosen charity.
Take part! - it's a great way to showcase your creative eye for capturing something special plus you'll be supporting a good cause.
