CCL’s annual photo contest is a chance for readers to showcase their best photography. This year’s theme was Home Sweet Home Colorado, and we received countless entries — it was a joy to see how readers interpreted the four different categories to represent the state we all love to call home. We hope you’ll enjoy this year’s winning photos. You can view these photos and the runners-up on our Facebook page.
