For the 20th year, Eliot Church in South Natick hosted its Oldtown Photo Calendar competition, a showcase for local photographers.
On Oct. 19, voting took place within the church itself; visitors could vote for their favorites for spring, summer, fall and winter. Winning entries (which will be announced by early November) will appear in the 2027 Oldtown Photo calendar.
The 2026 calendar, featuring the winning entries from the 2024 competition, is now available for purchase. It serves as a fundraiser for several local organizations, including Eliot Church, the Bacon Free and Morse Institute libraries, and the Natick Service Council. Calendars will also be for sale at the Charles River Coffee House and Tilly & Salvy’s Bacon Street Farm.
