About the calendar project
The production of the 2027 MYLONDON calendars and greetings cards is funded by supporters of our charity, ordering online from across the UK, the EU and beyond. Income from the sale of this calendar funds this project, with participants getting photography training and receiving their photos from the contest. Prizes totalling £2,000 and books on photography are awarded to photographers who are impacted by homelessness.
Photographers receive profits from the sale of their cards and photographs. Calendars are sold by project participants in various London markets and railway stations between mid October and late December 2026. Street vendors and those selling in markets earn 50% of the sale price of each calendar sold, unless they are volunteering. Participants in the project have earned more than £380,000 since 2012.
Note about the photographers in 2026: All of the photographers have stories to tell about what they have experienced and we will be telling some of them in the coming weeks. Over the years this project has evolved from asking everyone to reveal the reason why they are or were homeless. More stories from the participants in past MYLONDON projects here.
However after speaking to the people impacted by homelessness we have decided to respect their privacy. If they would like to speak about what they went through that is fine - but if they would prefer to just focus on their experience of photographing London and forgetting about one of the most traumatic experiences in their lives that's OK as well.
Photography mentoring
Our weekly photography group is run by unpaid volunteers from the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) London who have taught photography skills with digital cameras since 2015. This group has provided stability in the participants’ lives, while enabling them to gain skills. Profits from this project also help fund this group.
MYLONDON is a project of My World Creative Projects Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) no. 1197162. My World incorporates Cafe Art (UK) Community Interest Company.
MYLONDON 2027 month photos as cards
Photographers in the project selected three photos for the exhibition. The 2027 calendar photos were chosen from a public vote.


A calendar with real impact
Images in this calendar come from photographers affected by homelessness and were taken on Fujifilm QuickSnap single use 35mm film cameras in July 2026. Fujifilm has supported this project and the photography mentoring group, run by volunteers from the Royal Photographic Society, since 2015. This year all 45 photographers submitted three photos for the exhibition and the public vote, consisting of pop up exhibitions at Spitalfields Market and Ealing Broadway Station in August 2026. The jury was made up of a cross section of the community.
