Rural communities are full of people, places, and moments that make a difference. This year for National Rural Health Day, the Colorado Rural Health Center is celebrating those stories by bringing the Power of Rural Colorado Photo Contest back for its second year!
CRHC members from across the state are invited to share the photos that capture what makes rural healthcare, and the communities they serve, so special. Whether it’s a scene from your daily commute, a glimpse into care delivery, or your community coming together, we want to see what rural health means to you.
Participants can submit photos in one or more of the following categories: Rural People, Rural Landscapes, and Rural Life and Infrastructure. You may submit up to three photos total. Entries will be judged on creativity, quality, and relevance to rural healthcare.
Submissions are due by November 15th, and winners will be announced on National Rural Health Day, November 19th.
There will be three winners total, but only one can win the grand prize -- free admission to The Colorado Rural Healthcare Conference in April 2027! All photo submissions will have a chance to be featured in future CRHC publications and materials, helping us share the Power of Rural Colorado one photo at a time.
