Join the re-photography postcard challenge!
Help celebrate Colorado’s 150th birthday by exploring our past and present!
Students are invited to match historic photos from around the county by taking their own “now” photos. Submit your photos to create a community gallery showing how the region has changed over time. Students who were 4th and 5th graders in the 2025-2026 school year are eligible to win. Participation is free and voluntary!
Explore: Browse the historic photos on this site.
Find the Location: Use the clues to figure out where each photo was taken.
Take Your Photo: Visit the location and take a NOW photo.
Submit: Upload your photo using the form.
💡 You can complete just one or try to match them all for a region. Students who submit 12 or more photos for a region will be eligible to win the challenge.
