Arkansas Catholic is running a contest to choose a photo for the cover of the 2026 Catholic Diocese of Little Rock Directory. Any Arkansas photographer 18 or older, professional or amateur, can enter their photo of a Catholic church or institution in the diocese.

March 17 is the deadline to enter the contest. It is free to enter. Complete rules are listed in this contest entry packet (which includes the rules and a sample model release form).

First place also wins a copy of the directory and a one-year print subscription to Arkansas Catholic ($50 total value).

To enter the contest, submit your photo online. No photos will be accepted by mail or in person. If a person is visible in your photo, please print and sign the model release form. The form must be emailed or mailed to Debbie Kelly, Arkansas Catholic, PO Box 7417, Little Rock, AR 72217 by March 17.

Winning photos in recent years have covered stained glass, a cross mosaic, a large crucifix statue, a chalice, a new church building, ruins of an old church building and exterior portraits of beautiful churches across the state.
