Home in the Hill Country – 2025 Photo Contest

The Hill Country Alliance (HCA) calls on anyone with a camera to share their view of this iconic region and its many inhabitants in the 2025 Home in the Hill Country Photo Contest!

Contest runs May 1 – May 31, 2025.

Photographers of all ages and skill levels, from amateurs to professionals, are invited to participate. Winners will receive cash prizes, and their photos will appear in HCA’s annual Texas Hill Country Calendar, which features stunning 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.

Photography should be original and capture the vibrant beauty of our native landscapes, wildlife, and water resources of the Texas Hill Country – from rocky creekbeds to wide-open vistas to our starry skies. Beyond wildlife and plants that call the Hill Country home, contest judges are particularly excited to see photography that captures the people and communities that make up this special part of Texas.
