MARSHFIELD, Wis. — Nelson-Jameson, a leading distributor in the food processing industry, has announced the continuation of its award-winning calendar art contest to celebrate America’s food and agriculture industries and the “farm to table” supply chain, represented throughout the seasons in the 2026 calendar.  

Calendar art contest participants are asked to submit original artwork or photos that represent and celebrate our nation's food industry by August 1, 2025. This year's "Farm-to-Table" theme offers inspiration for talented individuals to demonstrate their appreciation for America’s food supply chain.

Nelson-Jameson team members will handpick the submissions that will be included in the year-round calendar so that they can be enjoyed throughout 2026. The winning entries will be displayed by food manufacturers, suppliers, and facilities across the United States and shared with tens of thousands of people in Nelson-Jameson’s network.

"The dairy industry joined us in celebrating the success of Nelson-Jameson’s 2024 art calendar and its award-winning visuals,” said Kara Lineal, VP of marketing for Nelson-Jameson. “For 2026, we are excited to show appreciation for the entire farm-to-table experience. We’re looking forward to seeing the creativity and passion for food shared by our participants.”

The Nelson-Jameson dairy-themed 2024 calendar won Gold at the Muse Awards, which also honored other brands such as Mattel, Lay’s, Toyota, Uber, IBM, Disney and Warner Bros.

All proceeds from the 2026 calendar project sales via the nelsonjameson.com will benefit the Nelson-Jameson Foundation, which is focused on supporting philanthropic organizations in the food processing, food safety, and dairy industries, as well as other charities that are important to the Nelson-Jameson team and community.
