The Mack Trucks Calendar Contest is again on the hunt for impressive Mack trucks to be featured in the 2026 calendar edition. Twelve striking Bulldogs will grace next year’s publication, with each winner receiving a professional photo shoot.
The contest continues the tradition of showcasing the best Mack trucks in operation across North America. Voting categories are aligned with Mack’s truck models: Mack Anthem, Granite, Pinnacle, TerraPro, Mack LR, Mack LR Electric, Mack MD, and Mack MD Electric, plus a legacy category for models no longer in production but still in revenue operation.
“We received a record 432,000 votes for the 2025 contest, which demonstrated the incredible passion of the Mack community,” David Galbraith, Mack Trucks' VP of global brand and marketing, said. “The 2026 calendar will continue our celebration of Mack’s remarkable heritage and the hardworking customers who keep our trucks on the road.”
The contest is open to Mack trucks in revenue operation—vehicles currently working in fleets and not collector or antique vehicles. The entry period runs through April 30, with voting April 1 through April 30. Voters can vote once daily for their choice in each category.

“The competition grows more impressive each year,” Galbraith said. “We're excited to see the entries for 2026 and to continue the tradition of featuring our customers’ working Bulldogs in this popular calendar.”
Winners will be contacted by phone or email by mid-May and will be announced on Mack Trucks social media channels by May 30. Mack Trucks will schedule a professional photo shoot for each winning entry for the calendar. The 2026 Mack calendar will be available later this year on mackshop.com.
