In the past 30 years, the Countryfile Calendar<\/a> competition has become one of the biggest photography competitions in the UK. From tiny voles to wide open landscapes, your amazing pictures have raised record amounts for charity through the calendar itself: with the 2021 issue<\/a> bringing in more than \u00a33million for BBC Children in Need. <\/span><\/p>\n

Here, we take a look back at some of our most memorable overall winners and judges\u2019 favourites from the past three decades.<\/p>\n

The Countryfile Calendar for 2022 is now open for entries \u2013 see our guide to this year\u2019s competition.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
