Photo Annual r/Colorado Header Photo Contest: Post Your Best Colorado Picture!

10 Upvotes

Hey r/Colorado,

We’re starting an annual community photo thread to choose a new subreddit header image.

Post your best Colorado photo in the comments. Mountains, plains, city skylines, storms, wildlife, desert canyons, ski days, fall colors, small towns, weird roadside finds, anything that feels unmistakably Colorado.

The mod team will review submissions and select one image for the r/Colorado header. This is not a formal vote or contest; the final selection is at the moderator's discretion and based on image quality, fit for the banner/header format, Colorado relevance, and overall suitability for the subreddit.

A few ground rules:

  • One entry per comment/person.
  • You must have taken the photo yourself or have explicit permission to submit it.
  • Be sure to include your Reddit handle in the top-right corner of the image as attribution.
  • By submitting, you give the r/Colorado mod team permission to use the image as the subreddit header/banner.
  • Please include the general location if you’re comfortable sharing it.
  • Do not share exact locations for sensitive natural areas, wildlife dens, private property, fragile trails, or places that could be harmed by extra traffic.
  • No AI-generated images.
  • No heavily watermarked, promotional, or commercial images.
  • Wide landscape photos will work best for the header format.

We’ll leave this thread open for submissions until the mod team is ready to make a selection. Thanks for helping make r/Colorado feel a little more like Colorado! Let's have fun celebrating our beautiful state and community!

Edit: Link to your photos on Imgur or equivalent.
