2026 Celebrate the Royal Photo Contest

Back by popular demand, our annual Celebrate the Royal Photo Contest returns this summer!

From July 10th to September 8th, 2026, RRCT is accepting photo submissions that highlight the scenic vistas, waterways, flora & fauna, and outdoor enthusiasts throughout the watershed. Winners will be announced at our Annual Meeting on September 15th.

We're looking for photographs that capture the unique character of the Royal River and its surrounding watershed. With countless public access preserves throughout the watershed, this is the perfect opportunity to venture into some of our lesser-known properties or to share your ‘magical moment’ that reminds you of how lucky we are to live surrounded by such beautiful open spaces.

Submission Categories:

• Landscape
• Wildlife (Flora & Fauna)
• Recreation

Photographers of all ages and skill levels are welcome to participate. Contestants may submit up to three original photos for consideration. There will be some awesome prizes sponsored by Patagonia. More details to come!
