Thank you for your interest in the USHPA Calendar Program!  Each year, the USHPA looks for the best and brightest imagery that captures the essence of the sports of hang gliding and paragliding for the calendar - and these submissions come from you!  Be sure to read over the Submission Requirements so that you know what we're looking for in the line of imagery.  Anyone can submit images for the calendar, as long as they meet the Requirements.

For the 2011 calendar, if your photo makes the cover of either the HG or PG calendar, you'll receive the standard contributor payment for your photo.  The two photos that make the HG & PG covers will also get a free Fleece Jacket, courtesy of USHPA. 

There will also be feature story in the December 2010 issue of Hang Gliding & Paragliding magazine, highlighting the photos and the pilots and photographers behind them.

If you have questions regarding anything on this page, feel free to contact the Office at 800.616.6888 or email them to Robin at robin@ushpa.aero or Martin at martin@ushpa.aero.
