Click below to submit for OMA's 2026 Calendar Contest! Deadline for submissions is October 10th.

In 2026, OMA will release a one-of-a-kind wall calendar showcasing 12 delightfully odd, curious, and quirky artifacts from museums across Oregon. Titled “Weird & Wonderful: A Year of Museum Quirks,” this calendar highlights the unique stories and lesser-seen treasures from our member institutions.

Participation is open to all OMA member museums, and only 12 objects will be selected through a lighthearted contest to determine the quirkiest and most compelling submissions. Winning museums will have their objects professionally featured with photos, captions, and credit in the calendar, offering them a moment to shine in print and online.
