Virgin River Program Calendar
Each year, the Virgin River Program creates a calendar featuring photographs of the Virgin River Basin. In addition to beautiful photos, the calendars include information on native wildlife species in the area and activities of the Virgin River Program.
These calendars are printed each December and distributed for free to schools and municipal offices throughout Washington County. They are also available to the public at no cost at the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Washington County Field Office and the Washington County Water Conservancy District Office.
The gallery below highlights a selection of past photo contest winners.
2024 Photo Contest Winners
The 2024 calendar features winning images from previous Virgin River photography contests. We're celebrating the best-of-the-best by highlighting grand prize winners from the 2010-2023 calendars.
Thank you to the outstanding photographers who have participated over the years!
