We are pleased to announce the winners of the 2018 Water Resources Research Center Photo Contest. This year we again gave photographers two criteria - that photos be water related and that they be taken in Arizona. And we received many wonderful submissions. People, nature, Arizona and other topics were showcased by the many photographers who submitted their images.

We would like to sincerely thank all of the participants. We once again, had entries from throughout the state and even a few from out of state. We were very impressed by the quality and variety of photographs entered. This made choosing the winners a difficult yet exciting task. Check out all of the participants.

And the winners are:

  • Best in show: Talia Chorover - Reflection in Standing Water Adjacent to Sabino Creek
  • Arizona Runs on Water: Natalya Sherman Robbins - Rezflections 2018 Tonalea AZ Navajo Nation
