Every year, Southwest Metro Magazine accepts photography submissions from the community for the annual Southwest Metro photo contest. The photos are submitted in five categories: Activities & Events; People & Families; Pets; Wildlife & Nature; and City Landmarks. In September, winners were selected by a Southwest Metro Magazine judging panel, and a Reader's Choice winner was awarded based on votes from the community at southwestmetromag.com. Congrats to this year's winners!

The editorial and art jury reserved the right to move a photograph to a different category than the one in which it was submitted, and to award places based on the number and quality of photographs received. The Readers' Choice winner is the photograph that receives the total highest number of votes from readers on southwestmetromag.com (all photographs submitted to the contest are on the ballot). The editorial and art jury has no involvement with selecting the Readers' Choice winner.
