Gate of Heaven’s Annual Photo Contest Awards 2024

1 Corinthians 10:26

Creation and all created things are inherently good because they are of the Lord.

This 2024 was our seventeenth annual photo contest at Gate of Heaven Cemetery. Once again, we were so blessed to have many talented individuals throughout greater Cincinnati participate. God’s beauty surrounds us everywhere on this sacred ground and many outstanding photographers were able to capture His beauty through their lens, through the seasons, and share them with us.

Gate of Heaven’s 2025 calendars will be available in the front lobby by November 1, 2024.

The 2025 photo contest entry forms are available in the front lobby of Gate of Heaven and on our website under Resources/Additional Resources.
