HCA photo contest closes May 31

The deadline is Saturday for photographers planning to enter Hill Country Alliance’s (HCA) 2025 Home in the Hill Country Photo Contest.

Photographers of all ages and skill levels, from amateurs to professionals, are invited to participate. Up to four photos per contestant may be submitted.

Winners will receive cash prizes, and their photos will appear in HCA’s annual Texas Hill Country Calendar, which features photography from each year’s photo contest.

“Both the photo contest and the calendar aim to highlight the beauty of the region, provide an informative resource on Hill Country conservation, and inspire folks to learn more and become involved in the issues important to keeping the natural resources of this unique region intact,” said an HCA spokesperson.

“Photography should be original and capture the vibrant beauty of our native landscapes, wildlife and water resources of the Texas Hill Country — from rocky creek beds to wide-open vistas to our starry skies.”

Beyond wildlife and plants that call the Hill Country home, contest judges concentrate on photography that captures the people and communities that make up this part of Texas.

Photos can be submitted online at contest. hillcountryalliance.org/registration.
