The votes are in for the SACtoday 2023 Picture of the Year contest. Check out the finalists below, including the winner that you — our readers — voted for.
Winner: “City of Trees” by Jose C.
“City of Trees” won by a landslide, garnering almost two-thirds of all submitted votes. Congratulations, Jose.
Runner-up: “Sunset Over Bella Vista” by Stephen E.
This Friday night lights beauty ranked No. 2 in reader votes with its dramatic lighting and distant views.
Most team spirit: “Light the Beam” by Karlee S.
This brilliantly framed pic captures Sacramento’s latest catchphrase with the iconic Beam — and it tied for third place.
Most holiday spirit: “Theater of Lights” by Andres G.
Rarely does a photo do justice for one of Sac’s favorite holiday traditions, but Andres really nailed this one — and it tied for third, too.
Best in night life: “Sacramento at Night” by Karam A.
It’s difficult not to appreciate the beautiful downtown lights when you see them like this.
Coziest vibe: “Sunset in East Sac” by ST
This photo reminds us of the everyday beauty that can be found in our own neighborhoods.
Best framing: “Old Sac Town Crier” by Christine R.
We love the colors of the train complimented by the bird’s black and white plumage.
Best use of color: “On Eighth and L” by Michelle Z.
Few things are more Sacramento than a beautiful building downtown and an Anh Phoong ad.
Once again, congratulations to Jose — we hope you enjoy your $25 gift card for our online marketplace, Six & Main (and the feeling of pride and joy after getting first place, of course).
And thank you for your participation + beautiful entries, SACtoday readers. Keep ‘em coming.
