Heart of Colorado 2024 Photo Contest Winners

Heart of Colorado 2024 Photo Contest Winners

This year’s photo contest theme was Heart of Colorado. We asked you to share — in photos — what you love about Colorado. When we announced the categories, we hoped to see photos that captured Colorado’s lovely landscapes, activities you adore, people and animals you are fond of, and the four seasons with which we can all become quite smitten.

Well, we got all that and more. Nearly 900 photos were submitted to the contest, and 19 of CREA’s 21 member co-ops were represented in the entries. These winners not only captured the heart of Colorado, but they also captured the judges’ hearts. Whittling down the entries to the 12 final images was no easy task. We hope you enjoy these photos and find inspiration in these pages and in our beloved and beautiful state.
