Cotton Board Announces 2026 Calendar Photo Contest
September 22, 2025 
The Cotton Board is ready to see your best, calendar-worthy cotton photos. One winning photo will be selected and featured in The Cotton Board’s 2026 Industry Calendar.
“We welcome submissions that capture cotton at any stage of production, from planting through harvest,” says Stacey Gorman, Senior Director of Communications for The Cotton Board. “The cotton itself should be the focus of each photo, and people should not be included. I look forward to seeing images from across the Cotton Belt that reflect the unique landscapes where cotton is grown.”
Up to three entries per contestant will be considered. Photos should be taken in a horizontal orientation and be at least 300 dpi. Participants should email their high-res jpeg photos to sgorman@cottonboard.org. See contest details and rules for more information.
The contest ends on Friday, October 3, at 5:00 pm Central. Cotton Board staff will vote to determine the winning photo, and the winner will be announced on Wednesday, October 8.
The winning photo, along with photo credit, will be featured in the 2026 calendar. The winner will also receive a cotton prize pack, including 25 copies of the calendar to share with friends and family.
