Photo contest

As long-time readers of Heart magazine know, the cover typically depicts an image of a heart in nature. In an effort to connect with the wider Sacred Heart community, the Society of the Sacred Heart, United States – Canada Province, is holding a photo contest!

Enter for a chance to have your photo on the cover of a future issue of Heart magazine. Whether you’re a beginner, hobbyist, seasoned professional, or student, we welcome any and all to submit original photographs.
