The Hill Country Alliance’s 17th annual Hill Country photo contest is HAPPENING NOW and this year’s theme is “Home in the Hill Country.” As more and more people call the Hill Country home, many of the region’s most special qualities – like sweeping open spaces, clear flowing waters, tranquil state parks, and starry night skies – are at risk of being loved to death and lost forever. In this year’s contest, HCA challenges photographers across the region to share their best shots of what makes (and what calls) the Hill Country home! The Hill Country Alliance is accepting submissions of photography taken within the 17 counties of the Texas Hill Country by photographers of all skill levels and styles. Winners will receive a cash prize and a calendar feature in the 2024 Hill Country Calendar.
