2026 Photo Contest

Jan 13, 2026

Karlan Jankowski, Spring Seasonal

Each year, CHRS asks for your best shots of Capitol Hill – from its antique homes to great parks and everything in between. The deadline is March 1, 2026.

Anyone can participate in the contest as long as the photos were taken in the neighborhood.

Winning photographs will be displayed in the windows of the Coldwell Banker Realty office at 350 7th  St. SE near Eastern Market. CHRS will hold a reception for the juried exhibit in April.

Pictures posted here are 2025 entries.

In addition to having their photo displayed, the first-place winner will receive free tickets to our annual Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour. Honorable mentions will receive a free year’s membership to CHRS.
