Bank of Utah's 2025 "My Utah" Photo Contest was the best year yet.
We received 420 breathtaking submissions from talented photographers across the state. With so many amazing representations of Utah, it was clear every photographer shared a deep appreciation for this beautiful state, and we thank you all for sharing your amazing talent.
Selecting winners was no easy task. Our first place winner captured a striking scene of Sandhill Cranes in Jensen, Utah. The mesmerizing ice formations from Utah Lake secured second place, while the elegance of Little Cottonwood Canyon and its seasons earned third. The stunning mountains of American Fork Canyon was awarded the coveted Best in Show title.
