Everyone's journey with congenital heart disease (CHD) is different, but we all gain scars along the way both emotionally and physically. We want every child and adult who was born with a heart defect to feel good about themselves and be proud of who they are - ROCK STARS! So come on, show us how you rock your scar!

The Rock Your Scar 2026 Photo Contest and National CHD Awareness campaign starts on January 1, 2026 and ends on January 31, 2026. We welcome photo submissions from anyone who was born with a congenital heart defect (CHD); participants do not need to have a scar.
