Recently, we revisited all the fantastic reader-submitted photos from 2025 and choose the top ones. Based on their subject, composition, quality and originality, these are 12 finalists. Now it’s up to you to vote for the overall Submission of the Year!

The winner of the Submission of the Year (photo) will be announced in the March issue, as will the Submission of the Year (written), which will be chosen by the editors. Each winner will receive $500 in shopping coupons that can be used like cash at any Downhome retail store and online at ShopDownhome.com.

Voting ends January 20, 2026.
