AUSTIN (KXAN) — Here at KXAN, we get hundreds of photos sent to us each month by viewers just like you.
We want to showcase some of the best pictures we receive, so throughout 2024, we held a series of polls to determine the best photo from each month. Now that we have our 12 monthly winners, it's time to choose the best photo of the year!
Look through the 12 pictures below, then vote for your favorite at the bottom of this story.
If you’d like to submit a photo for January, email it to [email protected]. Be on the lookout as KXAN may contact you to send a permission form so we can use your photo on air and online. All submissions must be taken in January 2025.
