DOCO Photo Contest 2025


Theme: Places of Worship – Built to Inspire

We are excited to invite photographers of all ages and skill levels to explore how Modernism meets the sacred. Whether you are in Green Bay, Elm Grove, Menasha, or Ripon, share with us what inspires you.

This year’s theme focuses on midcentury places of worship—spaces designed not only for worship, but also for wonder, connection, and architectural innovation. We are looking for images that capture the artistry, geometry, and emotional resonance of modernist religious architecture built between 1945 and 1980. Eligible buildings include churches, temples, mosques, synagogues, and chapels.
