Views in the Valley Photo Competition
Views in the Valley is an annual photo competition hosted by TVC that takes place from late spring to early summer.
The competition invites locals to capture the beauty of the Tri-Valley (Livermore, Pleasanton, Dublin, San Ramon, and Sunol).
Participants can submit photos to three categories: Working Lands, Open Landscapes, and Wildlife.
This year’s competition is closed, but you can view the winners, galleries of all submitted photos, and pre-register for next year’s competition.
Congrats to our 2026 Winners!
Over 165 images were submitted from 36 unique photographers. Additionally, over 200 votes were cast for the Barry Zupan’s people’s choice award.
