Festival of the Cranes Annual Photo Contest

Friends of Bosque del Apache invites photographers to submit their best shots to our annual contest. Winning photos will be displayed in the Bosque del Apache Visitor Center atrium prior to and through the Festival of the Cranes and throughout the year until the winners for our 2024 Photo Contest are selected.

The 2023 Crane Fiesta Photo Contest opens July 30th.
