Announcing the 2026 TCM Calendar Contest

Calling all truck camper adventurers and photography enthusiasts! The 19th annual Truck Camper Magazine Calendar Contest is here. We’re looking for the most jaw-dropping truck camper photos to fill our 2026 calendar—and the cover. It’s time to get snapping!

2026 Calendar Contest Announcement

Thirteen lucky winners will have their photos featured in the magazine, along with the stories behind the winning shot. Plus, you’ll score a free copy of the 2026 Truck Camper Magazine Calendar. Imagine seeing your shot celebrated all year long—and the bragging rights? Simply unbeatable.

All submitted photos will be displayed in our gallery, and by entering, you’re giving us permission to showcase your work across our magazine, social media, and website. Be sure to check out the rules before you submit—details below!

2026 Calendar Contest Rules

1. Your photo must feature a demountable truck camper. No fixed campers allowed. If it doesn’t demount, it doesn’t count.

2. Minor color corrections and cropping are fine. HDR is cool, but heavy editing or filters? Not so much.

3. All photos must be taken between October 15th, 2024, and October 10th, 2025.

4. Only submit photos you’ve personally taken.

5. Include your name, the location of the photo, and the year, make, and model of your truck and camper with your submission.

6. Submit your photos digitally. You can send them all at once or one at a time—up to three photo entries per camper.

7. Deadline: Submit your photos by 11:59 PM PST on Friday, October 10th, 2025.

8. Horizontal Photos Only: All photos must be horizontal for our calendar format (11” x 8.5”).

9. No Panos Please: Panoramic photos don’t fit a calendar page format, so stick to the standard size.

10. All photos must be taken with a six-megapixel camera (or better). Smartphones are fine if they meet this standard.

11. Submit your photos in their original resolution—no downsizing, please.

Pro Tips to Snag That Winning Shot

A. Chase the Golden Hour: Shoot during sunrise or sunset for that dreamy, warm glow.

B. Mix Up Your Angles: Move around and try shooting from different perspectives. Get creative!

C. Ditch the Distractions: Avoid random man-made objects. Unless it’s the star of the shot (like a cool bridge), skip it.

D. Show Off Your Rig: Include the entire truck camper—bumper to bumper and rooftop to tires.

E. Location, Location, Location: Stunning backdrops are a must. Skip boring campsites and look for epic pull-offs or scenic views.

F. Master Your Camera: Learn the ins and outs of your device. Great photos start with knowing your camera!
