(CALVERT CITY, Ky.) — The City of Calvert City has announced the winners of its annual Calendar Photo Contest, revealing which images will represent the community throughout 2026.
This year’s competition attracted 255 submissions from residents and visitors eager to showcase the city’s charm through their lenses. Brian Hill captured the cover photo, while 12 other photographers secured monthly spots in the calendar.
