As part of the 3rd Annual Festival of the Sky Islands, recently held in Moctezuma, Sonora, we held our first photography contest. Participation was divided into categories for amateurs (phone use allowed) and professionals (traditional cameras only). And awards were then given within each category by topic (flora, fauna, and landscape). Congrats to all the participants for such beautiful captures, and we hope they continue to delight us in the next edition.
This year’s winners were:
Professional
Landscape — “Desert Waves” by Diego Arias.
Fauna — “Lithobates” by Daniel Pinto.
Flora — “Blooming on the Horizon” by Arturo Cruz.
Amateurs (Taken With Phone)

Fauna — “Cuchujaqui River Oasis of the Sierra de Álamos” by Rodrigo Borbón.
