Theme: “Harvest”

There’s something powerful about harvest season — that moment when months or years of careful tending finally bear fruit. Seeds planted with hope transform into sustenance, into celebration, into proof that persistence pays off.

For our 2026 solidarity calendar, we’re exploring “Harvest” in all its forms. We’re looking for images that capture not just the literal harvests that feed our communities, but also the victories, achievements, and transformations that grow from sustained organizing and resistance.

What we’re looking for:

We welcome a broad range of images depicting the various meanings, connotations, and senses of harvest, including:

  • Agriculture
  • Food sovereignty
  • Sustainability
  • Campesino practices and economies, e.g. farmers’ markets
  • Comprehensive community development, including education and health care
  • Victories and achievements by social movements
  • Indigenous world-view and ceremonies related to crops and natural cycles
  • Legal processes and verdicts that further justice and accountability
  • Protests, demonstrations, and strikes that cultivate organizing and may produce concrete achievements, e.g. 2023 nation-wide blockades in defense of election results
  • Solidarity actions
  • Organizing among youth and elders
  • Community organizing in defense of territory
  • Environmental justice
  • Natural resource protection
  • Concept of “good living” (el buen vivir / utz k’aslemal)

Submission Guidelines:

We prioritize the safety of everyone involved, so we’ll only publish photos that pose no security risks. For any images featuring individuals, we need their explicit permission. We’re focusing on photographs taken in Guatemala or directly related to Guatemalan movements.

For the best calendar layout, horizontal photos work wonderfully, as do pairs of complementary vertical images that tell a story together.

Ready to submit? Send your photographs or links to photo sites to: nisguacalendars1@gmail.com

Deadline: June 25th

Your perspective matters. The harvest you’ve witnessed — whether it grew in soil or in struggle — deserves to be shared. Help us tell the story of what’s possible when communities plant seeds of change and tend them with unwavering dedication.
