With one click of the shutter, you can capture a moment in Victoria.

With 12 lakes, 31 parks, and 32 miles of trails, Victoria is the perfect backdrop for all your outdoor photos as you explore the natural environment woven throughout the city.

2022 Showcase Victoria Awards
First Place
Erika Hacker, Summer Sunset at Stieger Lake
"It was a beautiful summer night and my daughter and I decided to watch the sunset. She's growing up fast, so I take as many pictures of her as she'll allow!"
Second Place
Katie Will, Hungry Honey Bee
"We were watching the bees and captured this photo when trying to figure out what kind of bee it was. Life can surprise you if you take the time to stop and enjoy the little things."
Third Place
Ezra Farner, Fresh Snowfall on the Lake
"This photo was taken in December of 2020. I went out to take some winter photography around Victoria as a little distraction from quarantine!"
