Twelve local men. One calendar. One crown. We're on the hunt for the town's hunkiest for a brand new community campaign — equal parts cheeky, muscular, and proudly Whitstable.
Entries reviewed by the panel before shortlisting. See full rules for details.
Every seaside town has its characters. This year, we're putting twelve of Whitstable's finest front and centre in a 2027 calendar, crowning one lucky entrant King of Whitstable, and having a laugh while we raise money for local causes.
Twelve finalists are shortlisted from every entry, each given their own calendar month and their own moment of local fame.
From the twelve, the town votes for one King of Whitstable — Hunk of the Year, sash and all.
Calendar sales and entry contributions go straight back into community projects across Whitstable.
No professional shoot required — a good phone camera and a bit of confidence will do. You'll be asked to upload four photos as part of your entry.
Just you, being you. Pub garden, dog walk, deckchair — whatever's normal for you.
Show off the effort. Gym kit, running gear, on the harbour wall — your call.
Swim shorts or underwear, beach or bathroom mirror. Tasteful, confident, and entirely optional to go further than.
Suit, bow tie, best behaviour. Prove you scrub up as well as you show up.
You can also upload extra photos for the judging panel's eyes only — these won't be published anywhere.
The King of Whitstable doesn't need a six-pack or a modelling portfolio — just a good sense of humour, a bit of local pride, and the nerve to put yourself forward.
Whitstable's waiting to meet its twelve hunkiest. Could one of the months be you?
