Beth Sheridan Photography, in partnership with The Sanctuary, is happy to announce its annual child photo calendar contest for 2025. Proceeds from the sale of the calendar and photo contest will assist The Sanctuary in becoming a model child placement agency by supporting children and families through Trust-Based Relational Intervention.
We encourage you to submit your favorite photo of your child and ask your family and friends to vote for them. Your child does not have to be adopted to enter. If you are an ally of adoptees, you are welcome to submit your photo.
Please review the Contest Rules carefully for submission guidelines; those that do not follow these rules will not be eligible to win. Fees for photo entries and votes will help The Sanctuary continue their efforts and programs like their post-adoption scholarship program.
Grand Prize
The winners of the photo contest will be determined by the top 13 entrants that get the most votes.
The top winner will win the coveted cover photo for the 2025 calendar! 2nd - 13th place winners will have their child featured as a child of the month. The top 13 vote getters will have their child professionally photographed by Beth Sheridan Photography for the 2025 calendar.
Prizes | Rules
Reserve a Special Spot In The Calendar For Your Child
Honor your child, celebrate a gotcha-day, an adoption day, or birthday by reserving an empty grid space (before or after the numbered squares) for their photo. This is a great option to participate if you are not local to the Houston / Galveston area! Choose a favorite photo, a month, and pay. Grid images will be cropped to a square ratio, so please be mindful of that when choosing your photo. Each month has a limited number of squares in each grid and will be filled on a first come, first served basis; don't delay! Each grid space is just $10.
