Criteria for Submission
- Images representing Mary or the Life of Christ as represented by the twenty Rosary Mysteries (such images should be faithful to the biblical narrative and be clear; the artistic merit is important but secondary)
- Images of saints, saints in the making and martyrs
- Altars and churches from around the world
- Older images as well as newer image of the above are welcome
- Generally our preference is for artwork created by a member of the represented group because that lifts up artists from that group . This is not a hard and fast rule but a preference . For example it is preferred that images showing Native Americans be painted by a Native American artist. However, if a person is routinely commissioned by a community to represent a specific group and that person wishes to submit images of people in that group , those would be considered.

Sanctuary of Divine Mercy, St. Stanislaus Kostka, Chicago, Illinois
"One of the key themes in A Mother's Plea," said Fr. Anthony Bus, Pastor of St Stanislaus, "is that Our Lady will not permit the cacophony of the world to shout into silence the voice of the Living God. We're inundated with noise. We need sacred space, the nurturing and cultivation of sacred silence, so that God's voice can be heard. And we believe this is what Our Lady is asking of us here."
