RCRC’s Annual Rural County Photo Contest invites individuals to share captivating images that showcase the incredible diversity, breathtaking scenery, vibrant activities, rich history, and undeniable charm that make RCRC’s member counties truly special.
The contest encourages photos that highlight each community’s unique beauty and spirit—whether through serene waterways, fascinating wildlife, majestic livestock, or distinctive architecture.
RCRC is proud to announce Andrew Lincoln of Napa County as the winner of the 9th Annual Rural County Photo Contest. His striking photograph, Woolly Weeders, captures a flock of sheep providing vegetation management between rows in a Napa County vineyard. Lincoln’s image was chosen as the first-place winner by the RCRC Board of Directors during their August meeting.
