Share what brings your purpose into focus

Be a part of the 2022 Thrivent Calendar.

We're looking for your original images reflecting next year's calendar theme: "A focus on what matters.

It could be something you go out of your way to experience or something you see every day. Maybe it's the secluded lake your family visits, the wildflowers along your morning walk or a holiday tradition that helps you reflect and reconnect. Whatever it is that helps bring your purpose into focus, we want to hear from you.

Entries should include a description of the photo and what it represents to you. If your entry is selected, we may include your description with your entry.

Submissions will be accepted through June 30, 2021. All entries must be original artwork or photography and submitted using the online Entry Submission Form below.
