Anza-Borrego Desert Photo Contest

Every year, Anza-Borrego Institute is proud to sponsor the Anza-Borrego Desert Photo Contest. We receive hundreds of images of the Park from photographers all over the country, and the best are put on display.

The theme of the contest is the unique and natural beauty of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Ribbons are awarded to First, Second, and Third Place winners, as well as Honorable Mentions, in both Adult and Youth Divisions. View last year's winners. Photos are entered in one of five categories:

A. Desert Plants

B. Desert Animals

C. Desert Landscapes/Skyscapes

D. People Enjoying the Desert

E. The Desert at Night - NEW!
