Calling all amateur and professional photographers! 

The 21st annual Roaring Fork Watershed Photo Contest is underway and RFC is looking for your best photos - as long as they were taken within the Roaring Fork Watershed! 

This year's Photo Contest will be slightly different than in the past, with a theme of BLESSED & STRESSED.

• BLESSED: Scenic Waterways of the Roaring Fork Watershed
  • Photos in this category should focus on water; rivers, snow, wetlands, riparian areas, etc.
  • Judges will determine the "Best of" in the amateur and professional division. The public will select "People's Choice" via Facebook.
     
• STRESSED: Help Document This Record-Breaking Water Year in the Roaring Fork Watershed
  • The 2026 Water Year will go down in history as one of the driest and hottest years on record. RFC would like your help to document and archive the low flows and stressed ecosystems. Send us photos of local streams that are stressed - no water, low water, etc.
  • RFC will randomly select two people that submit photos to this category, to win a prize package from Two Leaves and A Bud. 

Submission rules and guidelines are listed below. Submission deadline is November 15, 2026!

 Thank you Two Leaves and a Bud for sponsoring the 2026 Photo Contest prizes!
