Download a beautiful image each month, directly to your desktop or smartphone
We invite street custodians, address custodians, GIS officers, other local government staff, and their families to submit their favourite images capturing the local places they help manage and maintain. Each year, 12 winning photographs are selected to feature as our official monthly calendar images, one for each month.
These images are used as digital wallpaper downloads and are also showcased across the GeoPlace network, celebrating the connection between local areas and their associated Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) or Unique Street Reference Numbers (USRNs).
Each winning monthly photo is also used as the header image in the GeoPlace monthly newsletter, circulated to over 1,000 subscribers from across the public and private sectors. Alongside the image, we include:
- The name of the photographer
- Their local authority
- The UPRN or USRN of the location featured in the photo
Winners also see their images showcased on the GeoPlace homepage and the annual competition page. This recognition highlights the importance of location data and the beauty of local areas, promoting civic pride and even encouraging tourism.
