It is with excitement that the Iowa-Missouri Conference communication department is announcing this year’s Calendar Photo Contest. Last year was the first time in many years members of the conference submitted their own photography to be featured in the calendar. Based on the positive feedback received, the communication department decided to host the contest again. Please read the official rules below. If your submission does not meet the rules as stated below, your photo will not be eligible to win. Thank you for your submissions!
