The Results are In!
Greetings Photographers!
Thank you for sharing your incredible images with us for the 2026 Crested Butte Wildflower Festival Photo Contest. We were truly amazed by the creativity, skill, and love for the wildflowers that came through in each submission. This year, we received over 350 photographs, each capturing the beauty of our wildflower season in unique and inspiring ways. After two rounds of thoughtful voting, we are excited to announce the winners:
- First Place – Emily Blackmon
- Second Place – Jerri Puralewski
- Third Place – Srinivas Kanteti
- Honorable Mention – Daniel Hannan

We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated. Your talent helps us share the beauty of Crested Butte far and wide, and we hope you’ll join us again for next year’s contest. Stay tuned throughout the year on our social media as we share more of the beautiful submissions we received.
Thank you again and cheers to another wonderful year!
