Entries for the 2025 Choose Iowa Calendar Contest can be submitted.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig invites school aged students to take part in the contest, a signature brand for Iowa grown, raised and made food, beverages and agriculture products. According to the Iowa Department of Agriculture, students are encouraged to share their original artwork, which features at least one aspect of Iowa agriculture and has an emphasis on food, beverages, crop production or livestock. The winning artists will be recognized on August 12th in the Agriculture Building at the Iowa State Fair, with the winning submissions to be part of the 2025-26 Choose Iowa calendar that is distributed by the Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship. Entries can be submitted through a form on the Choose Iowa website, emailed in at chooseiowa@iowaagriculture.gov, or mailed to the IDALS.
