The theme for this edition is Supporting the American Farmer. That means any photos from the farm, we want to see!

NAU Country takes pride in our mission of supporting the American Farmer through risk management. Share pictures from your farming operations! Catch that beautiful sunset or sunrise, include your farm animals enjoying their morning, or capture harvesting pictures into the night. For this year's calendar contest, we want to see the American Farm!

After the submission window closes, we will post the photos that have met the printing and contest requirements to our Facebook page in a photo gallery and allow voting for the most liked photo. The most liked photo will be used on the cover of the 2024 NAU Country Photo Calendar.

Voting begins Friday, September 1, 2023, and ends at 12:00 p.m. (CDT) Friday, September 8, 2023, on the NAU Country Facebook page.
