Enter our School Folder Art Contest!

Each year Spirit Catholic Radio provides approximately 25,000 colorful, two-pocket homework folders to Catholic elementary students, compliments of generous business underwriters—they’re our gift to you. Students in our listening areas of Omaha, Council Bluffs, Lincoln, Northeast Nebraska, Central Nebraska and Western Nebraska are invited to use and enjoy the folders in whichever way best serves their needs.

The folders are printed with the artwork from the winners and runners-up from our annual Catholic Schools art contest. Each year, the winners’ artwork is printed on the covers and featured on our web site. Both students and teachers have their names announced on Spirit Catholic Radio in the spring and also win a variety of prizes.


The theme for our 2014 School Folder Art Contest is Encounter Jesus! It's the theme we've chosen to use for the radio network's 15th anniversary, which is this year. 

Spirit Catholic Radio is excited to showcase the talent at your school and this contest is a great way to show recognition for the teachers and students who work so hard. If you are a teacher, parent or student (grades kindergarten through eighth) that would like to submit artwork, please contact Kelly Miller, marketing and promotions manager, via e-mail or by calling 855-571-0200. Information about the contest has been sent to all Catholic schools in the listening area.
