Photo Contest Exhibit Opening Reception

3/9/2026 | Missouri State Museum | Jefferson City, Mo.

Celebrate the winners of the 2025 Missouri Department of Natural Resources Photo Contest at an opening reception for an exhibit featuring contest photographs. The exhibit includes the the top four photographs in three categories: Natural Resources, Unique Places, and People Enjoying Missouri Outdoors.

MoDNR hosts a photo exhibit each year. Amateur photographers of all ages have the opportunity to capture their favorite moments in Missouri's rich natural and cultural resources and share them for all to enjoy. The department uses the photo submissions on its website and social media platforms, and for an exhibit in the Missouri State Museum. The exhibit will be on display in the museum's Resources Hall from March 9, 2026, through December.
