In anticipation of the 67th anniversary of the Capitol Hill House and Garden Tour, the Society sponsored a photo contest – “The Capitol Hill Home.” Congratulations to the 2024 winners and finalists! Plan ahead – start collecting photos, now, for next year’s competition.

And here’s a look back at prior years: 2023 winners, 2022 winners, 2021 winners, 2020 winners, 2019 winners,  2018 winners, 2017 winners

We’re privileged to live in an environment that is a delight to the eye, with tree shaded streets, lush gardens, yard ornaments, and houses with a wealth of architectural detail. Iron stoops, arched windows, stained glass transoms, ornate brickwork, welcoming porches…  all hallmarks of the quintessential Capitol Hill home.

We’d like to know how you define “The Capitol Hill Home.”  So show us – take a hi-resolution (1MB or larger) exterior shot (.jpg preferred) of what you think makes a home a Capitol Hill home and email it to HouseTourCHRS@gmail.com. If you are using a cell phone photo, you may text it to 202.329.7864 instead. Be sure to include your name and address, email address, and the address of the property in the photo.

The winning images will be awarded two complementary passes to the 2024 House & Garden Tour and will be displayed on the website.

In submitting your photo to the CHRS House Tour photo contest, you agree that it will become the property of CHRS, which may reproduce, modify, and digitize and adapt the photograph. You retain the right to continued use of the image.
