2026 Calendar Contest

Did you snap an amazing photo at this year’s Sunflower Maze?
We’d love to see it! 🌻

Enter our 2026 Sunflower Calendar Photo Contest for a chance to be featured in next year’s calendar and win a free pass to the 2026 maze!

 Open to photographers of all ages and skill levels—amateurs and pros alike.

Rules

~ High Resolution Required
Photos must be 300 DPI (dots per inch) or higher. Lower resolution images won’t print well and unfortunately can’t be used.
👉 Not sure how to check your image’s DPI? Here’s a helpful guide on how to check it.

~ Landscape Orientation Only
Please submit photos in landscape (horizontal) orientation—not portrait (vertical). This is important because landscape works best for our wall calendar layout.

~ No Rule-Breaking Shots
Photos showing anyone off the path or damaging the maze (e.g., trampled or picked flowers) will not be accepted. We know you want that perfect shot—but please respect the maze and its beauty. Seeing those crushed blooms hurts our hearts!

~ One Photo Entry Per Person
We know it’s tough to choose, but please send only one photo—the one that speaks most to your heart. If you send more than one, we’ll choose the one we think fits best, and we’d rather you make that call!

Deadline: Thursday, October 16th, 2026

Send your photo to: Contest@DakeyneFarm.com

Having trouble? No worries—we also accept entries via Facebook Messenger!

How it works…

We’ll post all submitted photos on Facebook on Friday, October 17th, and that’s when voting begins!

Votes = Facebook “likes” 👍 on your photo.

Voting will stay open until October 24th.

Feel free to share your photo and rally your friends and family—encourage all the likes you want!

 The top 12 most-liked photos will be featured in our 2026 Sunflower Maze Calendar.

 The photo with the most “loves” (❤️ reactions) will earn the cover spot!

It doesn’t have to be a sunflower…

…just your favorite moment from your visit!

Maybe you snapped a fun shot of one of our signs, the kites in the sky, the cows in their blankets, or Ol’ Red Steel the tractor—we’d love to see it!

 All memories welcome—even if they’re from a past visit.

Want to pre-order a copy of our Calendar because you know it’s already going to be fabulous?
