2025 Photo Contest Winners

A picture is worth a thousand words, and thanks to this incredible community, we have a novel’s worth about our rivers!

This year, we received scores of photos showing the humans, animals, and landscapes that represent the South, West, and Rhode. These photos show beauty, resilience, joy, family, community, and everything in between. Choosing between them was incredibly challenging. However, thanks to a community vote, we have our winners!

The winners of the 2025 Arundel Rivers Photo Contest are...

Ryan Mould (Blue Crab) and Heather Jarvis (Great Blue Heron)

Thanks to all our entrants who shared such incredible perspectives of our watersheds with us. Check out just a few of our staff favorites below.

Please keep an eye out next spring for the 2026 contest, and watch for our 2026 publications to see these great photos featured throughout the year!
